BAPI (Business Application Programming Interface) is an API method of a business object which intern is a RFC enabled Function Module.

Business Objects are the Objects which has business sence associated to it. Ex. Sales Orders, Purchase Orders etc.

The Properties of BAPI are:

Every BAPI name should start with letters 'BAPI'.

It is an API method of a Business Object.

it does not contain a internal COMMIT statement in the Function Module.

It does not contain "CALL TRANSACTION" statements.

BAPI do not raise 'EXCEPTIONS'.

a RETURN structure is defined as an interface parameter of a BAPI which is used to log all the errors, warnings and the successful processes tha are triggered in the course of execution of a BAPI.

A successful execution of a BAPI requires the data to be commited and this process of performing a COMMIT is achieved by calling the BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT' explicitly if there are no errors logged in the RETURN structure.

There are two types of BAPI's: Instance Dependent & Instance Independent.

BAPI provides an access to the SAP system for external applications to have the business data processed in the form of web services. When BAPI's are used to post the data in SAP system these are used as Function Modules.

Do not answer rediculously basic questions, particularly with link-farms and copy&pasted material, otherwise your ID will be deleted.

If the question is easily searchable (as in "Interview Questions"), then do not answer and use the Abuse Reports button. The question will be removed and the person pointed to "the rules" => search first, ask questions later.

It creates a bit mess of the SDN site if we fill it with copy&pasted answers!

Please think about the question before you answer...

Many thanks,

Julius
