Web Service For a Standard BAPI

[Former Member]

Hello all,

I am using a standard web service for a standard SAP BAPI called BAPI_INQUIRY_CREATEFROMDATA2.

Now i want to change the web service parameters.

Is it feasible to change the parameters. For eg, change the name of the parameter for a standard web service defined by SAP. ?

If yes,

How can i do it?

Please mention me exact steps where in se80 i can find out the enterprise service for that standard bapi?

I am using SAP ECC 6.0. Please me the exact steps on how i can do the above mentioned things.

Thnks a ton for your help.

Regards

Hi Yogesh

We have a similar scenario where I had to do some modification to the existing standard BAPIS like 'BAPI_QUOTATION_CREATEFROMDATA2'.

To achieve what you are trying to achieve, I created another custom BAPI that inturn calls the standard BAPI 'BAPI_QUOTATION_CREATEFROMDATA2' with import, export and tables parameters exactly the same as the Standard BAPI.

Where ever I need modifications to the parameters, I do that in my custom BAPI.

I don't know if this answers your question.

However, I have another question for you.

You have mentioned that you are using standard web services. What do you mean by that. Because, I am creaating my own web services even for the standard BAPIs that are available. I don't know if I am wasting my time by creating web services for BAPIs that are already supplied by SAP. Your response will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Ram

What you are talking about (I think) is enhancing an enterprise web service. There are a couple of ways to do it, but involves making a change in the SLD, enhancing the data type in the ESR, implementing the proxy for that data type, and then making a change to the BADI. I have a question out right now about determining what BADI needs to get adjusted so I cant answer the last part.

Another option is like what the previous poster mentioned. You could wrap a new bapi/function around the existing one and work with it from there.
