I don't think there is any documentation on that. It merely means that you create a function module (RFC or not) in which you call the BAPI you are trying to 'wrap'. This is oftenly done because (for example) the interface of a BAPI (import / export / tables) is quite 'large'. Many, many parameters to be filled, and another structure in which you will have to mark all fields to be updated with 'X' (extra work).

To avoid this, one creates a wrapper in which a lot of coding is already done before the BAPI is called. So when calling the wrapper, the calling program has (a lot) less to do before it can use the BAPI.
