Message Schemas for BAPI Operations
The following sections describe the message schemas and message actions used to invoke BAPIs on the Microsoft BizTalk Adapter for mySAP Business Suite as methods of business objects. You can also invoke BAPIs as RFC operations on the adapter. For more information about the messages used to invoke RFCs, see Message Schemas for RFC Operations. Regardless of how you invoke a BAPI on the adapter, the adapter always invokes the BAPI as an RFC on the SAP system. For an overview of how the SAP adapter supports BAPIs, see Operations on BAPIs in SAP.
