what is bapi?

Answer Posted / madan namdeo

BAPI (Business Application Programming Interface) is a set
of interfaces to object-oriented programming methods that
enable a programmer to integrate third-party software into
the proprietary R/3 product from SAP. For specific business
tasks such as uploading transactional data, BAPIs are
implemented and stored in the R/3 system as remote function
call (RFC) modules.
A BAPI is a point of entry to the R/3 System- that is, a
point at which the R/3 System provides access to business
data and processes.
Each object in a BOR can have many methods, one or more of
which can be implemented as BAPIs.
BAPIs can have various functions:
• Create an object
• Retrieving the attributes of an object
• Changing the attributes of an object
A BAPI is an interface that can be used for various
applications:
-Internet Application Components, which make individual R/3
functions available on the Internet or an intranet for
users with no R/3 experience.
• R/3 Components compositions, which allows
communication between the business objects of
different R/3components (applications).
• Visual Basic/JAVA/C++ - external clients (for ex-
alternative GUIs) that can access business data and
processes directly.
