Hi,

From an XI Implementation perspective,

BAPI's do not have a implict COMMIT associated with them and so , in the receiver RFC adapter you need to provide the COMMIT HANDLING FOR BAPI CALLS. This option was avilable from SP 14.

Prior to that you had to writter a warpper RFC and import it into XI and use this instead of the BAPI.

The RFC's conatin an Implicit commit so no such issue here.
