BAPI's are programming interface to access SAP Database from within SAP or other development platforms external to R/3 that support the Remote Function Call (RFC) protocol. The main objective of BAPI is to achieve integration between the R/3 System and external applications, legacy systems etc

a bapi is just a remote function module. of course, you could use transaction 'BAPI' - but you also use transaction 'SE37' to show them. A function module can be used in different programs - so you are able to use code more than one time.

--> take a look at BAPI_USER_GET_DETAIL
