SAP S/4HANA BAPI Tutorial – Step by Step Guide

to Create BAPI in ABAP
What is BAPI?
Business Application Programming Interface(BAPI) are standardized programming interfaces (methods)
enabling external applications to access business processes and data in the SAP System.

They provide stable and standardized methods to achieve seamless integration between the SAP
System and external applications, legacy systems and add-ons.

BAPIs are defined in the BOR(Business object repository) as methods of SAP business object types that
carry out specific business functions. They are implemented as RFC-enabled function modules and are
created in the Function Builder of the ABAP Workbench.

Some BAPIs and methods provide basic functions and can be used for most SAP Business Objects.
These are called STANDARDIZED BAPI’s.

List of Standardized BAPIs:

• BAPIs for Reading Data – GetList() , GetDetail() , GetStatus() , ExistenceCheck()

• BAPIs for Creating or Changing Data- Create() ,Change(),Delete() and Undelete() ,
• BAPIs for Mass Processing -ChangeMultiple(), CreateMultiple(), DeleteMultiple().

Stage1: Creating a structure in SE11

Step 1: Go to transaction SE11 and create a structure as shown or as per your requirement.

Do not forget to save it in a package. Check the structure (ctrl + F2) and activate (ctrl + F3) the
structure.

Stage2: Creating the function module in SE37

Step 2: Go to transaction SE37 where you create function modules.

Step 1.Go to transaction swo1 (Tools->Business Framework -> BAPI Development ->Business Object
builder ) .Select the business object, according to the functional requirement for which the BAPI is
being created.

Step 3.In the next dialog box, following information needs to be specified :

• Method : Suggest an appropriate name for the method,

• Texts : Enter description for the BAPI,
• Radio buttons : Dialog, Synchronous, Instance-independent . BAPI ‘s are usually implemented
synchronously.

Releasing and freezing the BAPI

• To release the BAPI , first release the function module (using transaction se37 ) .

• Set the status of the method to ‘released’ in the Business Object Builder ( using transaction
SWo1 – Edit-> change status-> released. )
