A BAPI is an RFC enabled FM with a published interface. SAP promise not to change the functionality of a BAPI.

Hi,

The 2 major diffreneces are:

Every FM cannot be REMOTE ENABLED.

But ALL The BAPI's are REMOTE ENWABLED.

SY-subrc value is returned after exceution of FM.

No sy-subrc is returned for BAPI.

Revert back if any issues.

Reward with points if helpful.

Function modules are ABAP routines that are administered in a central function library. They apply across applications and are available throughout the system. You must assign function modules to a function pool that is called a function group. A function group is nothing but a container for the function modules.

BAPI (Business Application Programming Interface) is a set of interfaces to object-oriented programming methods that enable a programmer to integrate third-party software into the proprietary R/3 product from SAP. For specific

business tasks such as uploading transactional data, BAPIs are implemented and stored in the R/3 system as remote function call (RFC) modules.
