Direct Input method is used for bulk transfer of data into SAP system.It results in faster execution since no screens are processed and the SAP database will be updated directly using the standard function modules.

Better example where direct input method will be used is... uploading the data for material master.....it includes lot of views so its very much difficult to capture all the views and record the tcode and map the data in such conditions its better to go with DI methods

Advantages:

in session method or Call Transaction method while uploading the data u do the validation by fallowing the screen sequence and field sequence where as in Direct Input validations can be done set of code so this make the process very fast so its advantageous to upload large amout of data.

you always use the standard sap provided program for this.

Here in Direct Input method very important thing is structure of flat file... so to know the structure first of all you have to download the data for one record into the internal table with the use of the same program then with the use of that structure u have to desing the flat file and upload the data.
