Business Application Programming Interface (BAPI) /bap'ee/ A method provided by an SAP business object. Release 4.0 of SAP AG's R/3 system was completely rewritten using object-oriented programming. Everything is an object, and the methods are called BAPIs. For example if a material object provides a function to check availability, the corresponding SAP business object type "Material" might provide a BAPI called "Material.CheckAvailability". The definitions of SAP business objects and their BAPIs are kept in an SAP business object repository. SAP provide classes and libraries to enable a programming team to build SAP applications that use business objects and BAPIs. Supported environments include COM and Java. For more background information and a list of available objects and BAPIs visit the Open BAPI Network (http://www.sap.com/solutions/technology/bapis/index.htm). (2000-12-15).
