Ertugrul Oeztuerk,

Indeed you can use Webservices to call a BAPI, RFC or an IDoc.

It's according with your system architecture and you have some ways to reach this goal like:

1) Find a standard way (BAPI or IDoc) or develop your custom remote function module in SAP side to do the business logic that you want;

2) Develop your WebServices

- Develop a custom WebServices in your Java side calling item 1 with JCO (Java Connector)

OR

- Expose your WebServices from PI;

OR

- Expose your WebServices directly from ABAP stack

OR

- Develop in other technologies using standard connectors (.NET Connector, Java Connector or Netweaver connector)

Best Regards,
