Create SAP BDC transaction recording so you can automate data input

Here are the simple steps to create a BDC in SAP which records a standard transaction and then uses the BDC recording to build an ABAP report that automates data processing and input.

Step 1
Execute SAP transaction recorder, transaction SHDB or recording button via transaction SM35.

Step 2
Enter name for recording (can be anything)


Step 3
Enter SAP tcode to be executed


Step 4
The transaction will now be executed, simply perform the actions you want to record. This example changes the Net price of item 1 on a purchase order (sets it to 20).

Once you have finished the recording and selected the save button or exited the transaction you recorded will be presented with the following BDC information. This details the screens and fields that have been Processed during the recording and will be used as a basis to create ABAP BDC program.
