      Bonjour Stephan,

      the message is regarding the equipment creation (with address data).

      In the following document “Simplification List for SAP S/4HANA 1809“, we can read :

      • “Required and Recommended Action(s)
        Please check if you use Batch Input for creating / changing Plant Maintenance data. If Yes do not invest further in this kind of technology. Recommendation within EAM is to use the API´s wherever possible.”

      In S/4, is it possible to use the API’s (like BAPI_EQUI_CREATE), to create an equipment with its address ?

      Because it is possible to do so with IBIP if I am not wrong.
