A BAPI is just a function module, so if you know how to call a function module, then you know how to call a BAPI. BAPIs are use to wrap business logic, usually a complete business object, like "Create Sales Document". You need to understand the interface of the BAPI to know what it will need to process. You can check out documentation about the BAPIs in the Bapi browser, transaction BAPI. Do you have a specific BAPI that you are looking to use? What transaction are you doing using BDC, there may or may not be a corresponding BAPI.

I assume that you are currently looking at the function module BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA. View this function module via SE37. Click function module documentation. This will give a good overview. Also, search this forum with "BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA", there should be some posts that will help you.
