Custom development

[Former Member]

Hi,

I'm working on MI and I have come up with a new IDEA for an application but for that I need to make my own tables, develop the BAPIs and then continue with the MI development part. My question is:

Is it okay if I develop my own BAPIs for my requirements or is it recomendded by SAP to use the existing BAPIs available only?

Regards,

Ravi

hello ravi,

there's no definite answer to your question. it depends

on your requirements.

my personal opinion:

if you are developing a brand new application and the data

structures are not yet defined in existing SAP tables, then

you have to create your own. also if the business logics

don't exist, so you have to create one and that would be

in the form of BAPIs.

but if you are to create an MI application frontend for

an existing SAP application, I would suggest you to use

the existing objects. sometimes you may find data structures

that has your desired fields but with extra ones, if there

will be too many unused fields, then i would suggest you

to create a new structure, rather than using a big one.
