Introducing Winshuttle DIRECT

With Winshuttle DIRECT, you can leverage SAP BAPIs and non-BAPI remote function modules to create templates to update SAP data. When the template is created, it can be used in the TRANSACTION three-step process.

By distilling BAPIs, DIRECT makes it easier to automate processes for high volumes of data, thereby increasing the accuracy of uploads. Distilling BAPIs through a program such as DIRECT also simplifies business processes when many complex SAP screens are part of the process. The distilled BAPIs also offer protection from changes to your system that might require scripts to be rerecorded.
