To display details of BAPIs in the BAPI Explorer:

1. Choose Tools ® Business Framework ® BAPI Explorer or enter the transaction code BAPI in the SAPgui command field.

If you are using a SAP GUI in a release earlier than 4.6A, the BAPI Browser appears instead of the BAPI Explorer.

By default only the released BAPIs of business objects are displayed in the BAPI Explorer hierarchy. To display all the BAPIs contained in the BOR, that is, BAPIs of SAP interface types and BAPIs that have not yet been released, choose Goto ® BAPIs to display.

To display a list of the symbols used in the hierarchy choose Goto ® Display legend.

2. To display the required view of the object types or interface types select either Alphabetical or Hierarchical.

The application component hierarchy may have many layers, which can make it difficult to find a particular business object type and its BAPIs. You can restrict the hierarchy display to two levels, by choosing Goto ® Change hierarchy level.

3. Navigate to the required business object type or interface type or use the standard search functions Find and Find next (you can use placeholders such as "*").
4. Expand the node of the business object type/interface type to display its key fields and methods. Expand the node of the method to display its parameters.
5. From the hierarchy display select the development object you require details for.
6. To display the technical information select Detail in the right hand frame. To read the documentation, select Documentation.
