BAPIs for
Selecting and Processing Outbound Delivery Outputs 
Use
As of this release, you can use Business Application Programming Interfaces (BAPIs) to transfer data to and from external systems via an interface. The new BAPIs that are available allow you to use a synchronous connection to communicate with an SAP System.
You can process all output-processing functions for deliveries by using BAPIs. This means that you can use BAPIs (for selecting and processing outbound-delivery outputs) to select and process outputs for outbound deliveries from an external system. You must use BAPIs that are specifically for selecting and processing outbound-delivery outputs.
The following are examples of scenarios that these BAPIs support:
- Processing outputs decentrally
- A decentralized Warehouse Management system prints outputs on an SAP System (Enterprise Resource Planning - ERP)
- A decentralized non-SAP system prints outputs on an SAP System.
- SAP applications print outputs
- The packing station application prints delivery notes.
- Quality management creates certificates.
- Printing is triggered by the Radio Frequency (RF) transactions
- For example, if picking is done using an RF terminal, the delivery note can be printed from this terminal.
The following BAPIs are available for processing delivery outputs:
- BAPI_LIKP_GET_LIST_MSG
You can use this method to select outbound delivery outputs (header and item outputs for several outbound deliveries). The system returns a key for the selected outputs and a log.
- BAPI_LIKP_PROCESS_MSG
You can use this BAPI to process outbound delivery outputs. The system returns a key and a log for the outputs that were processed
- BAPI_LIKP_PROCESS_MSG_DIRECT
You can use this method to select and process outbound delivery outputs in one step.
