BAPI introduction

1. What is the use of BAPI?

BAPI ( Business Application Programming Interface)

It’s is a technique which is used to conduct large scale of data migration from legacy to sap.

BAPI is a SAP system are implemented function modules ( remote function module)

BAPI = Function Module + Business Object.

2. Difference between RFC and BAPI?

4. What is SW01?

SW01 is the transaction code in SAP for the Business Object Repository (BOR).

It manages and displays business objects in a hierarchical structure corresponding to the


component hierarchy in SAP.

use SW01 to create, modify, and document business objects and their components.

The Business Object Repository (BOR) is a central repository in SAP that stores metadata about
business objects, organizational objects, and technical objects. It provides an object-oriented
view of the business data and processes in the SAP system.

5. Why we go for BAPI?

BAPIs (Business Application Programming Interfaces).

Object-Oriented Access: BAPIs provide an object-oriented way to work with SAP business data
and processes, making integration easier.

Remote Accessibility: BAPIs are designed to be accessible remotely, enabling integration with
external systems and applications.
Standardized Interface: BAPIs follow SAP's standards for naming, structure, and error handling,
ensuring consistency and maintainability.

Reusability: BAPIs provide standardized methods for common business operations, promoting
reusability and reducing development efforts.

6. Create 5 to 6 material in single shot using BAPI (both excel sheet and flat file)?

7. How to find BAPI?

BAPI t-code there choose Alphabetical tab there you can find the BAPI
SWO1 here also we can check the BAPI is available or not

SE80 by choosing the package inside the package business application in there we can find
BAPI

Se38 there is program called

Se37 here by enter the BAPI it will automatically recommended by sap only

SNIF this the tcode

8. Do curd operation using BAPI in MPP (use custom table)?

9. Call created ZBAPI in SE38?

10. Go through the standard BAPI's?

Standard BAPIs (Business Application Programming Interfaces) in SAP ABAP are pre-defined
interfaces provided by SAP that allow external systems to interact with SAP’s business processes
and data. These BAPIs are standardized and can be used across different SAP modules.
