Hi

Everything you mentioned are very very important ...

BAPI, BDC, ALV, ALE, EDC, IDOC, LSMW

Add the following too ...

RFC, Workflow, ABAP Objects

But in very near future try to understand things functionally too ..

get yourself more familiar with IMG (SPRO) components too ...

Enjoy ABAPing rather SAPing

Cheers
