hi

In direct input method there are already some predefined method you can use this method if the standard meets your requirement

and if

If no standard import method is available for a data object, then a new object can be generated using the Batch input recording function. This is also a useful way of minimizing the number of target fields.

Hi,

Let me tell you the difference with an example:

Say you want to update 10000 Customer records, You have options of Batch input and direct method.

If you will choose batch input then system will create the spools after running the transaction and record a log. Later after verification and validation you can update the tables with these data or can make corrections. Here we have options of seeing the error log.

And if you will choose Direct input it will update tables directly in single step. There may be chances of inconsistencies in data.

So we prefer to go for Batch Input.

Thanks,

The differnce between batch input and direct input is

1. In batch input the transaction is not directly updated in tables but session is created and the u can processe this session and update in table while in direct update the transcation are updated in tables at that time when u r executing.

2. So there to choose between 2 is totaly one decision whether to execute the transcation and update it latter that time use batch input and if want to update at same time then u can use direct update.
