Hi,

What's kind of data? It depends ...

You may need to check whether there is BAPI or Direct Input program available or not.

Personally, I like to use BAPI (if available).

BAPI is faster because it is updating the DB "directly" through ABAP code. On the other hand, a BDC with call transaction goes through the whole screen sequence like any user would do, simply put, it is filling screens.

If i want to use bapi . then first i need to use

read dataset and tthen i will store this data in to internal table.

and after that i can use bapi.

if u want to upload data which is stored in flat file then using BDC u can upload to SAP R/3 through identified T code of SAP system..

but if u want to upload ur data from another application server to SAP then u need to user BAPI of SAP system thourgh RFC connection.

or u can use connector, but ur question is not of full information . u need to write which application server u r using to upload the data to SAP ..
