There is no difference between a function and a BAPI, a BAPI is nothing a remote enabled function module associated to a business object a like a PO / SO / PR.

Hi,

With BAPI, SAP data can be accessed from outside SAP without actually logging on to the server.

This BAPI which is a function module in SAP, will be in the form of a method outside SAP.

In the sense, an java application can access SAP data without logging to SAP server.

Hope this clears your doubt.This is the main functionality of SAP.

Hi Suresh,

The advantage of using BAPIs over using RFCs is that using BAPIs requires no ABAP programming knowledge. You use BAPIs from standard programming languages such as C++ and Java.

Hi,

BAPI's are Remote Enabled Function Module. and There FM's which are Remote Function Module.

all Fm's are Not Remote Function Modules. But there are some FM's which are Remote Enabled.

BAPI's are associated with Business Objects.

Hi,

There are Situations like SOme Enjoy Transactions not support BDCs. so in that case Using BAPI instead of BDC's is the alternate solution.
