What a beautiful word, "obtuse", yes that is exactly what it is. Once tried it but failed and gave up after 2days of trying... :(
I do use some BAPI's already, like;
-BAPI_BUPA_CREATE_FROM_DATA
-BAPI_BUPA_BANKDETAIL_ADD
-BAPI_BUPA_TAX_ADD
but they don't cover the fundamental needs in total.
The main missing ones are;
- Create/add Sales Org data
- Create/add Purchase Org data
- Create/add Company Code data
As Business Partners are essential for all SAP users I think it would be extremely benefitial for Winshuttle users to have these.
(BP as such is very old and was invented for CRM, hence, for a CRM system i can find multiple BAPI's but they don't work on S4 ERP systems).

Hi Ed
I agree. I have sent this thread to our product management team.
I would also ask your SAP rep for more SAP-supplied BAPIs, since there aren't many.
In the meantime, you could try to use the FM from the migration cockpit. It was never marked as supported, and it's a bit obtuse, but it can work: RFC_CVI_EI_INBOUND_MAIN
FYI

Working with Business Partners in S4 and Winshuttle mass loads (or changes) is in my opinion extremely slow.
Extending a BP with a role and enter a few fields (so yes, even the simple ones) takes approx. 8-10seconds per record.
I already have heard from other companies they experience the same.
Hence, i think it is time for Winshuttle to deliver RFM for working with BP master data (create/change).
One of the main reasons i do this, is because i ofter use other RFM provided by Winshuttle and they are great.
I am convinced that WS would be very capable and user community friendly, to deliver this.
I hope to get support from this community in asking Winshuttle to step up to this challenge.
