BAPIs (Business Application Programming Interfaces) are programmer interfaces which you can use to access the business data and processes of the SAP system from external systems.

The backflushes for Repetitive Manufacturing are often created in external systems and then transferred to the SAP system. An external system may be a stationary bar code scanner used to record the type and quantity of materials produced.

The external system should be able to immediately trigger the necessary actions in the SAP system so that you do not have to reenter the backflush data in the SAP system.

Using BAPIs, you can carry out the following backflushing functions:

• Final backflush for make-to-stock production
• Reversing a backflush
• Reporting point backflush
• Final backflush for make-to-order production
• Activity backflush
• Component consumption backflush
• Final backflush for production by lots

The above-mentioned functions are grouped into the six following processes. A BAPI exists for each process. The function reversing a backflush is multi-process and is therefore assigned to a separate BAPI. The BAPIs for the individual processes are defined by the SAP Business Object, Backflushing in Repetitive Manufacturing (RepManConfirmation):

• Backflush for the order-neutral repetitive manufacturing: RepManConfirmation1.CreateMTS
• Backflush for the order-based repetitive manufacturing: RepManConfirmation1.CreateMTO
• Backflush for the production lot-oriented repetitive manufacturing: RepManConfirmation1.CreateMTP
• Reversing a backflush

• Existence check for backflushing:

• Display:

You can find the function modules for the individual BAPIs:

BAPI_REPMANCONF_CREATE_MTO

BAPI_REPMANCONF_CREATE_PLOT

BAPI_REPMANCONF_CREATE_MTS

BAPI_REPMANCONF_CANCEL

BAPI_REPMANCONF_EXIST_CHK

in the function group Methods for BO REM Backflush (2142).
