Subject: Bapi's Customizing

Hello,

Is it true SAP systems often are so customized that you can not trust on Bapi's if they exist yes or no ? Can a SAP system be modified without changes in the repository ? Wher is the repository located from a world wide firm ?

Everybody felt free to answer me:

BAPI has nothing to do with customizing. Business Objects are used based
of course on the Customizing settings made on an SAP client. There is no
way you can use a Business Object without any customizing made on
R/3.For instance, to place a Sales Order thru a customer-designed BAPI
application, you have to set the sales organization, the product code
and so on and these are all part of customizing. When doing customizing,
customizing tables are created according to needs, automatically by R/3
and you don't have to know about these. This are all transparent to the
BAPI programmer. All you need to know are the BAPI classes, methods and
parameters. That's it .......
