Hi,

have a stand alone application in VB at Material Gate. Requirement is to integrate this application with SAP so that data can flow from this to SAP for GRN automation.

I know that corresponding BAPI is to be identified & used. But how to populate data in SAP.

Thanks

Hi Anu,

SAP has Provided Large number of BAPI for Updating data in SAP. Find the Corresponding BAPI Function Module. This BAPI Function Module will do the rest(Update DATA into SAP).

Cheers,

Hello Anu

The way we have designed our interfaces between SAP and other systems is for XI to pick up the file from the Legacy system and process it using BAPI to update SAP.

I feel you can use similar methodology to automate the complete process whereby your VB system can download the data...and XI would pick it up from there.

There is also another solution but I have not used it so far in VB. Bascially in VB it is possible to connect to SAP database and should be able to call the BAPI's using it.

Anurag

Anu,

SAP gives good help on this..

Data can be reterived using Remote function calls.

Define those in ABAP as remote enabled function module

You could call those in VB using the Fuction module name with import parameter and getting back the export parameters.

Rgds,

TM.
