BAPIs are SAP standardized Business Application Programming Interfaces that enable third party systems to interact with SAP systems. These interfaces are implemented as RFC-enabled ABAP functions. The adapter supports outbound processing by modeling SAP BAPI function calls as business objects. These function calls are made to the SAP system, and can create, update, or retrieve data on that system. Because a BAPI is implemented as an RFC-enabled function, the adapter’s BAPI interface can support most RFC-enabled functions.
The following diagram illustrates how the adapter handles outbound processing for the BAPI interface.

Note that the BAPI/RFC interface supports after-image updates only.
