http://www.sappoint.com/abap.html.

in this site go to documentation.

there you find lot of pdf files on BAPI.

Thanks&Regards,

Hi,

In general BAPI is just another remotely enabled FUNCTION MODULE (RFC) used to interface with SAP from external systems. PL go through <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/84/73ba3bd14a6a6ae10000000a114084/frameset.htm">SAP Help</a> for additional info,

1. STEP 1 - Define a structures for the BAPI

2. STEP 2 - Write Function Module

3. STEP 3 - Create the API Method Using the BAPI WIZARD

4. STEP 4 - Final steps

eg..

This BAPI reads system status for a production order from table JEST and system status text from table TJ02T

Name ZGetOrderStatus

Function group ZBAPISTATUS

Function module: Z_BAPI_GET_ORDER_STATUS

Import parameters: ORDER_STATUS_IMPORT type ZBAPI_ORDER_STATUS_IMPORT:

• AUFNR Order number (Keyfield)

• SPRAS Language

• ExcludeInactive - Checkbox - Exclude inactive status

Tables T_BAPISTAT type ZBAPISTAT:

• OBJNR like JEST-OBJNR

• STAT like JEST-STAT

• INACT like JEST-INACT

• TXT04 like TJ02T-TXT04

• TXT30 likeTJ02T-TXT30

Export parameters RETURN like BAPIRETURN

<b>STEP1</b>

In this step a structures for the parameters and tables of the function module used for the BAPI are defined.

Use Data type -> Structure

Define the following structures:

ZBAPI_ORDER_STATUS_IMPORT, which contains the following fields:

• ORDERID Order number (Keyfield)

• SPRAS Language

• ExcludeInactive - Checkbox - Exclude inactive status

ZBAPISTAT:

OBJNR like JEST-OBJNR

• STAT like JEST-STAT

• INACT like JEST-INACT

• TXT04 like TJ02T-TXT04

• TXT30 likeTJ02T-TXT30

Important note:

You will have to define a structure for every parameter in the BAPI. You cannot use the same structures used in existing applications because BAPI structures are frozen when BAPIs are released and then there are restrictions on changing them.

<b>STEP 2 - Write Function Module</b>

Important notes:

• Each BAPI must have its own function group.

• Under the attributes tab remember to select Processing Type Remote Enabled module, otherwise the function module cannot be invoked via RFC and used as a BAPI

• Import/Export parameters can only be BY VALUE for an RFC enabled function module

• We are only creating one BAPI in this example, but you can create related BAPIs in the same function pool, so they will be able to share global data.

Code

Notes:

• The subroutine SET_RETURN_MESSAGE is a standard routine used for BAPIs that use the BAPIRETURN structure

• In form Z_BAPI_GET_ORDER_SYSTEM_STATUS there is a test IF 1 = 2. If the test is true a message is displayed. The condition will obviously never be true, and we will never want to display a message in a BAPI. The reason why it is included is, that it creates a reference for the message, so that the WHERE USED functionality can be used for the message. This is the SAP standard way to handle it, copied from the Company Code GetList BAPI.

<b>STEP 3 - Create the API Method Using the BAPI WIZARD</b>

The BAPI wizard is used toTo expose the remote function module as a BAPI. The wizard will generate some additional code, so the function module is a valid method of the BOR. This allows the BAPi to be called as a workflow method in addition to be called by an outside program.

Note: Each function module corresponds to a method in the BOR

Go to the Business Object Builder SWO1.

You can either create the new Object type as a subtype of an existing business object or create a new business object from scratch. In this example it would be obvious to create the Object type as a subtype of BUS2005 Production order. However, to illustrate how to create a new Object type from scratch, we will do this.

In the Object/Interface type field write the name of the new Business Object: ZORDERSTAT. Press enter and fill in the additional fields necessary to create the object type.

Supertype: Not relevant because we are creating our object from scratch

Program. This is the name of the program where the wizard generates code for the Object type, NOT the function module we created earlier. The program name must not be the name of an existing program.

• Implementation of object type ZORDERSTAT *****

BEGIN_DATA OBJECT. " Do not change.. DATA is generated

• only private members may be inserted into structure private

WHEN 0. " OK

WHEN OTHERS. " to be implemented

ENDCASE.

SWC_SET_ELEMENT CONTAINER 'Return' RETURN.

SWC_SET_TABLE CONTAINER 'TBapistat' TBAPISTAT.

END_METHOD.

<b>STEP 4 - Final steps</b>

When the Business object has been checked and the documentation created, the following steps must be carried out:

• Release the BAPI function module (in the Function Builder).

• Release the business object type (in the BOR ObjectType -> Change release status to -> Implemented ).

• Release the BAPI as a method in the BOR (Release the methods you has created - Set the cursor on the method then

Edit -> Change release status -> Object type component -> To released )

• For potential write BAPIs: Release the IDoc and its segments

You can now display the BAPI in the BAPI Explorer:
