Hi,

In addition to what Gilles said, use BAPI in scenarios where communication is between SAP systems and it is predicted that both systems are going to remain that way for considerable long time, and use Enterprise services if communication is between SAP and any other system and it is predicted that communication and system can change in future where you need to avoid interoperability issue with other systems all the time.

ES is also useful for seamless integration with other tools and very useful in extending existing functionality.

Another advantage of service over BAPI is open standard.

Hi,

Enterprises services are based on standards and can be consume by any other product on the market,

microsoft, oracle,ibm,open source, even iPhone.

Bapis are 100% SAP.

Bapis can be exposed as Web Services.

If you really need high performance, use Bapis.

Regards, Gilles.
