The functionality of the SAP BAPI eWay simplifies the process of determining the requisite IMPORT, EXPORT, CHANGING, and TABLE
1.2.1Invoking BAPI/RFC Methods
Before it can be invoked, a BAPI or RFM requires the following parameters:
IMPORT parameters: data provided to the BAPI
EXPORT parameters: data returned by the BAPI
CHANGING parameters: data provided to and/or returned by the BAPI/RFC
TABLE parameters - data provided to and/or returned by the BAPI/RFC
