Function module Vs BDC for master data upload

[Former Member]

Hi ,

Please advice we should use the following function modules for master data upload or we should go for BDC.

MP_RFC_SINGLE_CREATE

MP_RFC_INACT_CHANGE

MPLAN_CREATE

MPLAN_CHANGE

MPLAN_SET_DELETION_INDICATOR

ASSET_MASTERRECORD_MAINTENANCE

MPLAN_ITEM_CREATE

MPLAN_ITEM_CHANGE

GL_ACCT_MASTER_SAVE

GL_ACCT_MASTER_SAVE

GL_ACCT_MASTER_SAVE

Actually, we have already used these function modules in our upload program, but we are not sure if these function modules will create any data inconsistency.

Please let me know, if we should continue using the FMs, or there is any risk using the FMs and we should replace them by BDC.

Thanks in advance.

hi,

BDC - Batch input method is a better way and consistent too, with respect to the data and screen field formats.

Moreover the no. of FMs to be used is less which means lesser performance over head.

BDC Batch input method suggested for large bulk data.

Thanks

HI Vikram,

Better to serch for the BAPI for uploading the master data.Becuase we have problems with BDC and FM's.

If you use FM's it does n't contain all the fields which you want.IF you go for BDC this is not maintainable for future releaseas.IF you upgrade then screen may change.

IF don' have any BAPI then better go for BDC.

Thanks

Hi dude,

First search for BAPI .. if you are not able to find any related bapi then goo for BDC yar.. Specially for Master data goo for BAPI only.. because if u go for Material master data that is soo deficult to handle using BDC .. better check / search for BAPI...if not BDC..
