Object Type Mathod/ BAPI generate IDoc

[Ricky Lee]

Hi Stephan,
 
Thanks for your quick reply. I think i asked uncleared question.=20
Forgive me and let me rephase my question.=20
I try to use IDOC to push the data out (to some third party product) =
when the users make some changes inside SAP.
That way I can synchronous the data between SAP and third party.=20
 
and I found something from the SAP Business Connector Section.
Here is a quote from the PDF docco called "SAP Interface Repository =
Add-On for SAP Business Connector" from SAP
 
XML Format for IDocs
To create an asynchronous communication, IDocs are exchanged between two =
(SAP-) systems.
There are two ways to define concrete IDocs to communicate =
asynchronously:
*=3D Create IDocs manually.
*=3D As of Release 4.0 an IDoc can be generated from an existing BAPI.
 
 
Because they said IDoc can be generated from an existing BAPI. I wonder =
does anyone know any BAPI is doing it. I want to look at some example =
how it can be done.
 
Any help appreciated!!!
 
 
Ricky

Ricky,
 
BAPIs are function modules that perform certain functions without user
interaction, specifically without screen processing. BAPI function =
modules
can be called from object type methods. However, a lot of object type
methods are not implemented using BAPIs.
 
With IDOCs, it is similar. Object type methods are sometimes (often in =
the
IDOC.. object types) written to perform functions on IDOCs (create, =
change,
etc.), but not all object methods are written to perform functions on =
IDOCs.
 
 
You can write methods yourself that act as BAPIs or perform functions on
IDOCs, but it requires some often complex programming to achieve that.
 
Hth,
Stephan

Hi All Workflowers,
 
I got some questions to ask:
Can any Object Type generate an IDOC? or any BAPIs generate an IDOC?
 
If they do, Can anyone please let me know? I want to know how it can be
done.
 
Thanks heaps. Any help appreciated!
