BAPI (Business Application Programming Interface) is an API method of a business object which intern is a RFC enabled Function Module.

Business Objects are the Objects which has business sence associated to it. Ex. Sales Orders, Purchase Orders etc.

The Properties of BAPI are:

Every BAPI name should start with letters 'BAPI'.

It is an API method of a Business Object.

it does not contain a internal COMMIT statement in the Function Module.

It does not contain "CALL TRANSACTION" statements.

BAPI do not raise 'EXCEPTIONS'.

a RETURN structure is defined as an interface parameter of a BAPI which is used to log all the errors, warnings and the successful processes tha are triggered in the course of execution of a BAPI.

A successful execution of a BAPI requires the data to be commited and this process of performing a COMMIT is achieved by calling the BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT' explicitly if there are no errors logged in the RETURN structure.

There are two types of BAPI's: Instance Dependent & Instance Independent.

BAPI provides an access to the SAP system for external applications to have the business data processed in the form of web services. When BAPI's are used to post the data in SAP system these are used as Function Modules.

Hi,

Use

The Business Framework - the open, component-based architecture, which allows software components from SAP and third parties to interact and integrate with each other, is becoming more and more important.

SAP business objects are at the heart of the Business Framework, enabling the interoperability of software components. They cover a wide spectrum of R/3 business data and processes.

SAP business objects are accessed through BAPIs (Business Application Programming Interfaces), which are stable, standardized methods. SAP business objects and their BAPIs provide an object-oriented view of R/3 business functions.

SAP provided the first BAPIs for customers and external providers in Release 3.1, enabling them to integrate their software components in the R/3 System and the Business Framework. The number of BAPIs is increasing with each R/3 Release and with this the extent of object-oriented access to the R/3 System.

This User Guide is an introduction to the technical concepts behind BAPIs. It also shows you how you can use BAPIs to achieve seamless integration between the R/3 System and external applications, legacy systems and add-ons.
