By Venkat

To create the custom BAPI, we need to follow this step-by-step procedure. The steps are

1. Create the BAPI structure.

2. Create Remote Function Module.
3. Place the Remote Function Module into BOR (Business Object Repository).
4. Implement, Generate and Release the BAPI.

Step 1: To create BAPI structure, the structure name should start with the keyword ZBAPI. Here, Two
BAPI structures are created in this scenario .The name of these BAPI structures
areZBAPI_IMPORT and ZBAPI_TABLE.
