Hi Afgan,

I think this question can be answered with another answer of an old question of the forum:

Thank you,

This is a FAQ - the search returns hundreds of answers

The usual answer is to use the BAPI when available (and sufficient) else go through the BDC when allowed (no nice feature).

Just think about those options for a while:

- BAPI is a standard released function module created by SAP and maintained by SAP: it's the (business) object SAP tells you "use this when..."

- BDC is a recording of a transaction in a specific moment in time

If SAP people decide to modify any standard business object, they will update any released function module (or class) related, and modify any transaction in the same way. So:

- your BAPI will still work after an upgrade

- your recording will become obsolete and will stop working

Then... When we go for BAPI and when we go for BDC?

As raymond.giuseppi told you, we only go for BDC when there is no other option available.
