Hai Anu,

Main differences B/w bapi and bdc are...

In case of bdc data transfer takes place from flat file into sap system ie the file existing in sap system to sap sytem

where is bapi's r remotly enabled function modules which are assigned to some business objects n used to transfer the data between different business partners who are using different systems other than sap.

when you plan to upgrade your system version then bdc willnot support those upgradations where as bapi's will support.
