Business Application programming interfaces are standard methods to access business objects which form the core of all SAP R/3 business frameworks. BAPIs are to be used to create an interface and integrate R/3 software components with external (third party) ones. They can be used to create enhancements and related programs to get desired functionality as per business and customer specifications.

Method 1:

We can check which BAPI is used in a particular transaction in SAP. For example check BAPI used in VA02 –

Go to transaction VA02 and check the package used for the same. Go to Menu bar --> Environment --> Status

Double-click on Transaction VA02 and you can see the package is VA.

Now go to SE80 and browse package VA --> Business Engineering.

Select business object type BUS2032 - sales order for transaction VA02.

Open Methods, & position cursor on appropriate method - sales order change and click on program

You can scroll down to find BAPI used. BAPI_Salesorder_change in this case.

Method 2:

T-Code --> Environment --> Status --> double click on transaction and find the package.

Go to transaction BAPI. Select sales order and required released method like ‘changefromdata’

You can see the relevant BAPI and documentation on its use can also be found.
