Hi Prashanth,

According to me, a BAPI is the method in itself. When you view a standard BO from SWO1 transaction and view the methods, you will see many of them are implemented using BAPIs. The methods with a green light alongside implies that. Basically a BAPI is a function module which is RFC enabled and is used to implemented methods of business objects or can be called independently.

Hope this helps. Viewing SWO1 for e.g. BUS2012 will give u a good idea.

Regards,

Aditya

p.s. The person that asked u the question might have meant Business Object instead of BAPI

Hello Prashanth,

A BAPI is a method of a Business Object . And this methods most of the times wrap a function module under it. ( But its not necesary all the times )

Thats why it has become In normal usage that we call the function modules themselves as BAPIs ( which is not actualluy true ).

So to come to your question, you will decide the method(BAPI) to be used for meeting your requirements ( Like in Distribution Model ), and BAPI and method are not 2 different things.

Cheers

Kesari.
