Integrate

Post Data Using a BAPI

Integrate supports the execution of any RFC enabled Function Module in SAP, including the execution of RFCs and the posting of data via BAPIs.

Refer to Post Using RFC Execution for more information about RFC execution.

NOTE: Before creating a template, ensure the RFCs and BAPIs for the SAP connection have been downloaded.  Refer to Extract RFC Functions for more information.

A process based on a BAPI template will post data bi-directionally. Data is uploaded to be posted into SAP, and downloaded into tables that Integrate automatically creates.  Since processes based on BAPI templates often have return values, download registrations are often required for BAPI templates. 

NOTE: BAPI template types can use transaction stringing to pass return values to other templates assigned to a process. Refer to Post Data Using Transaction Stringing for more information.

NOTE: Integrate is an automation tool that allows experienced SAP users to leverage data loading capabilities provided by SAP.  Knowledge of how to use SAP in regards to BAPIs, BDC, RFCs and others is required to use Integrate and the documentation and technical support included does not cover specific usage details or how these technologies work. This use case provides an example of posting using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA, but does not supply comprehensive instructions to suit all BAPIs.
