BAPI/RFM - Basic

BAPI mapping types are different from that of transaction in the sense of UI. They are sensibly placed in their respective sections according to the Mapping action they perform.

For BAPI, Mapper is divided into 3 subsections:

  • Upload to SAP
  • Download from SAP
  • Upload/Download from SAP

These mapping types deal with single-line records.
