Hi Nag,

BAPI : BAPI basically works like a function module. the major difference being that it can work like a RFC. That means it can work from system to system. Mostly the name of a BAPI can be seen in se37 by just giving BAPI_* F4 and you will see a lot of BAPIS

we have a scenario where our client uses a third party software for the plant. The orders generated there all get converted into an XML file. The XML file is read by a BAPI, to create sales order in SAP. This BAPI runs as a batch job at a scheduled time the orders get created.

Incase of any order failing in SAP, we check the XML going to the BAPI and find the reason and make the necessary corrections.
