BAPI and BAPI Wrapper

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I would like to know the difference between a BAPI and a BAPI Wrapper in detail.

I would also like to know the procedure to create the various types of BAPI Wrappers- Getlist, GetDetail, Create, Modify and Delete.

regards,

Sunil

Hi Sunil,

Conceptually, BAPIs and BAPI wrappers are the same. BAPI wrappers, like BAPIs also must have a standard interface. THey are also RFC enabled FMs and like BAPIs they can comprise of the backend applciation business logic. They can also comprise of calls to Web services.

You can easily create BAPI wrappers - GETLIST, GETDETAIL, CREATE, MODIFY and DELETE from the DOE workbench (SDOE_WB transaction) using the BAPI wrapper wizard, available under the Utilities menu.

Once you create the BAPI wrappers, you can compare them with BAPIs and you will see that they are the same. Of course this is under the assumption that you are using MI 7.1.

You do not need specific OO knowledge for creating BAPI Wrappers.

Hi Sunil,

Conceptually BAPI and BAPI Wrappers are the same, but bapi wrappers follows some rules, in the data object modeling of DOE, all the bapi wrappers should have the same structure and the import parameters of the bapi wrappers should have the field of the same structure etc.., the above link is very useful to make it understand easily.

Hi Sunil,

The following link will help you out. It describes the rules for an ABAP function module to be a BAPI wrapper.

Hi Durga Prasad,

I also want to know the exact differece between a BAPI and a BAPI wrapper.

Do we need to know the object oriented ABAP knowledge to create BAPI wrappers?
