Depending on which technology you use to call the BAPI, you can sometimes restrict which parameters are transferred. For example, if you use the SAP Java Connector (JCo 3), you can use the method setActive
of a parameter to restrict whether the parameter is transferred. However:
- As far as I know, you can only enable or disable entire
TABLES
parameters or other parameters. You can't enable or disable individual columns. - As far as I know, the BAPI itself does not know about this setting - and even if it would know, few implementations would care.
Sometimes there are additional parameters that allow you selectively enable or disable fields, but that is part of the actual BAPI implementation and not some omnipresent basic technology.
