+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Now we are done with the creation of a Function Module. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Go to transaction SWO1 and enter the name of the BAPI you would like to create or as shown in the screen and click the create button.
Now click on the methods to drop down and see what methods are provided by default. There would be two methods, showing in red color which come by default while creating the BAPI.
Click or select the method as shown above and go to the path Utilities API methodsAdd methods. On the screen that follows, provide the function module name and click on the continue icon.
In the ultimate pop-up, click the next step icon. We observe that the information is predefined in the fields. This is the next screen where you would just click on the next icon.
Click on Yes. You can see an information message reading ZBAPIFMT001 inserted.

After clicking on the generate button, you can see the message reading Object type 'ZB API_T001' generated successfully.
Now go to BAPI Tcode (BOR) there we can find the BAPI (our BAPI) The BAPI browser would look like the screen below.
You can click on the Alphabetical tab so that you can browse the BAPIs in an alphabetical order. Find your BAPI as shown.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Now we are done with the creation of a BAPI. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Test Your BAPI.
Enter the name of your BAPI in the transaction SWO1 and click on Test.
The above screen is displayed. Click on the Execute icon against the BAPI as shown.
The above screen is displayed where you would require entering the data against the empty input fields.
After entering the data, click on the execute icon as shown below.
The following screen is displayed which has some values as is indicated by the ITEMTAB.
By this, we would get it confirmed that our BAPI is working properly. We can even check it by passing different values again. Come back to the input and execution screen.
After executing the BAPI based on the input provided, we get the following screen.
The above is the output we get from the input we provided. We are now done with the creation and successful execution of a BAPI.
