Web service to create a vendor

[Former Member]

I'm just getting started with Netweaver. (For now only 7.0). As a first test, I'm building an application to create vendors. I checked the ES Workplace for a web-service to create a vendor but I couldn't find one. An I not looking properly or is there no such service. If not, what would be the best approach? create such a service myself? Or is there perhaps such a service available in MDM?

You may consider building you Enterpise service, with outside-in approach, starting from creating service interface and definition with ESR (ES builder).

Identify the ABAP FM/BAPI that can be used to create vendor on-the-fly. Expose it as web service. Import the WSDL file into ESR to be reused as Message (Request and Response).

The web service in MDM is quite general, normally for simple CRUD operation.
