    Raj,

    BAPI means Business Application Programmers Interface and is in essence a remote enabled function module.

    One of the key differences between a BAPI and a regular function module is that a BAPI doe not have exceptions. It returns any error messages in a error table or structure.

    This BAPI can be used by programmers to create or change documents in SAP. Several BAPI calls may be called before a commit work or rollback work is executed.

    Best regards,

    Harald

      BADI is a business AddIn, using which we can build in custom functionality into sap, similar to user exits, etc, but with an object oriented approach.

      To try and differentiate them in terms of OOP.

      BADI is an object, whereas bapi is the method of an object.
