     <business, application, programming> (BAPI) /bap'ee/ A set of
     methods provided by an SAP business object.
  
     Release 4.0 of SAP AG's R/3 system supports
     object-oriented programming via an interface defined in
     terms of objects and methods 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.
