Why BAPI when we have RFC?

[Former Member]

I just want to know why in file to rfc scenario (or) http to rfc scenario we import BAPI interface from the sap system (eg-BAPI_PO_CREATE) instead of going with importing relevant RFC interface from sap system?

Thanks

What do you think according to you could be the relevant RFC Interface ?

All BAPIs are RFC. BAPI`s are associated with a Business Object.

Below link will help you in understanding what BAPI & RFC are..

Because, you can not call a post bapi and a commit statement together in XI by just importing the BAPI.

Also, if you have to work with multiple BAPIs and with some logic or would want to use an existing RFC.. it is needed.
