Configuration Steps for Using BAPIs in SAP SD
Step 1: Check Business Object Repository (BOR)
1. Go to Transaction SWO1
2. Enter the Business Object (e.g., BUS2032 for Sales Order)
3. Confirm that the relevant BAPI is listed under the business object
Step 2: Create a Custom Function Module (Optional)
👉 If customization is needed, create a Z-function module that calls the standard
BAPI:
1. Go to SE37 → Create a new function module
2. Include the BAPI logic (using CALL FUNCTION)
3. Activate and release the function module
Step 3: Test the BAPI
1. Go to SE37
2. Enter the BAPI name (e.g., BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2)
3. Input the required parameters
4. Execute the function
5. Check the Return Table (RETURN) for success or error messages
Step 4: Configure Authorization for BAPI Use
👉 Ensure that the user executing the BAPI has the required authorizations:
1. Go to PFCG
2. Create a Role → Assign the relevant Authorization Objects (e.g., S_RFC)
3. Assign the role to the user
Step 5: Add BAPI to External or Internal Application
● If the BAPI will be triggered externally (e.g., from a non-SAP system), create
a Remote Function Call (RFC) connection:
1. Go to SM59 → Create RFC Destination
2. Define Connection Type = 3 (ABAP Connection)
3. Assign the Program ID and Gateway Host
Example: Using BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 to Create a Sales Order
Sample Code (ABAP):
DATA: lt_return TYPE TABLE OF bapiret2,
ls_order_header TYPE bapi_salesorder_header_in,
lt_order_items TYPE TABLE OF bapi_salesorder_item_in,
ls_order_item TYPE bapi_salesorder_item_in.
* Populate Order Header Data
ls_order_header.doc_type = 'OR'. " Order Type - Standard Order
ls_order_header.sales_org = '1000'. " Sales Organization
ls_order_header.distr_chan = '10'. " Distribution Channel
ls_order_header.division = '00'. " Division
* Populate Order Item Data
ls_order_item.itm_number = '000010'.
ls_order_item.material = 'MAT001'. " Material Code
ls_order_item.target_qty = '10'.
APPEND ls_order_item TO lt_order_items.
* Call the BAPI
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2'
EXPORTING
order_header_in = ls_order_header
TABLES
order_items_in = lt_order_items
return = lt_return.
* Handle Return Messages
LOOP AT lt_return INTO DATA(ls_return).
WRITE:/ ls_return.
ENDLOOP.
* Commit Work
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'.
Output:
✅ Sales Order Created Successfully: Document Number 123456
✅ Error: Check the RETURN table for details
Common BAPI Issues and Solutions
Issue Cause Solution
BAPI returns Incorrect parameters passed Double-check input
no data parameters in SE37
Material not Material is not created in the Extend material to the sales
found relevant sales area area using MM01
Customer not Customer master data missing Create/extend customer
found or incomplete using XD01
Document not BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT Always call
posted not called BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMI
T after execution
Authorization Missing S_RFC authorization Assign the correct role in
failure PFCG
Best Practices for BAPI Usage
✔️ Always handle errors using the RETURN table.
✔️ Ensure that the BAPI is remote-enabled for external integration.
✔️ Use BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT to confirm changes.
✔️ Test in a sandbox system before deploying in production.
✔️ Avoid direct table updates; use BAPIs for data consistency.
