What is the difference between the BU and ZK OK codes in SAP macro

I am trying the post an invoice to SAP using the F-47 transaction and using SHDB to record the
transaction and learn how it works. I see there that sometimes BU and ZK BDC OK codes are
used. I would like to understand the difference between them, but could not find any official
documentation. Please, explain the difference between the two?

How should I start learning about SAP?

Finding SAP table relations

A BDC_OKCODE indicates which action is (will) be executed on a screen (things like save, back,
exit etc). The BU code is used for a SAVE function (like in MM01 transaction). Sorry but I cannot
recall to which function ZK maps to. Obviously their difference lies in the fact that they map to
different functions. You can still find out which function each button utilizes by using System>Status->GUI status.

Thanks for the answer. Can I figure out the corresponding BDC OKCode of a button using the technical
info (F1)? I found out that the =ZK means "More information" gyurisc Dec 30 '10 at 11:21

What is IDES SAP?

@gyurisc You can do the following: Run the program you're interested in, then click System->Status,
double click on GUI status, and then select find the function code for the button you want. You can set
BDC_OKCODE to that function code. Sorry for not clarifying that before... rabbitisle Dec 30 '10 at 13:22

By the way, BTCI transactions are not fully robust- minor changes in GUI flow let your program
break. Error handling / analysis is tedious.... DId you have a look to posting methods more
preferably? E.g. like BAPI_* function modules? With the help of LSMW you can browse for
different input methods and use them later standalone. Or you can use transaction BAPI directly.
