SAP created the Business Framework to allow the technical integration and exchange of business data among SAP components and between SAP and non-SAP components. Important components of the Business Framework are the Business Application Programming Interfaces (BAPIs), which represent visible interfaces at the component boundaries and whose properties serve to integrate these components.

The integration can include both components within a local network and components that are connected with one another through the Internet.

BAPIs allow integration at the business level, not the technical level. This provides for greater stability in the link, and independence from the underlying communication technology.

You can get all the standard SAP BAPI functions with the transactions code 'BAPI'.

1. BAPI's are the RFC enabled function modules, i.e u can connect to 3rd party systems using this. In BDC's we can't do this, it is local to SAP

2. BDC's use transaction screen flow to update data base, but BAPI's use standard function modules to do this.

3. Explicit commit work should be done to BAPI's, for BDC it is automatically done..

Just check the link below for all the links for each and every topic.
