The Differences bw Batch Input and Direct Inputs methods.

Here are few differences bw Batch Input and Direct Inputs methods.

Batch Input: Uses classical BDC approach, but doesn't required an ABAP program to be written to format the BDC DATA. The user has to format the data using predefined structures and store it in a flat file. Yet it is a slower updation method.

Direct Input: Works similar to Batch Input programs. The difference is, instead of processing screens they validate fields and directly load the data into tables using standard function modules. Much faster and suits for large volume of data.
