You can use function module MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE. If you need an RFC function module, you can create a custom function module that will call MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE.

That is right, what I would like to know is whether we have any Standard SAP BAPI's which serve's this purpose.

There is no BAPI that produce an outbound Idoc. Bapi is just a function module with RFC enabled. Normally Bapi is created so that it can be called from an external system. And outbound Idoc is sending data from R/3 to external system not from an external system to another external system thru R/3. Because of this, I think that is why SAP does not produce Bapi for outbound Idoc. If you look at MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE, it is not RFC enable.
