Hey Ashok ,Thanks for responding.
APIs not my area ,but I thought APIs are needed when you want to utililze MDM features from any other front end.
Well i have simple scenario of sending Contract Data to SRM MDM Repositories, which can be done through PI ,but EHP1 of SRM 7 has introduced a new way of doing it via ABAP FTP .
Which sounds to me that we dont need PI anymore.There is a note which clarifies that XML will not be generated if we choose ABAP FTP,but leads to many other questions.
Which formats does ABAP FTP supports?
Do we have any BAdi to maniupulate Contract Data.?
So far not much info from SAP either except this note 1474123.
Thanks
SB
