Hi Rajesh,
The basic approach to follow is to call the BAPI in a report program, passing the data which you want to add / change in the BAPI importing structures, and then calling the SAVE using BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT.
E.g: if you have a BP no. 4439, and you want to add a role CRM005 to it, you need to do it like this-
DATA :  p_catlog TYPE bapibus1006_bproles-partnerrolecategory,
        p_roles TYPE bapibus1006_bproles-partnerrole.
DATA : return LIKE TABLE OF bapiret2 .
DATA : return1 LIKE bapiret2.
p_catlog = 'CRM005'.
p_roles = 'CRM005' .
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_BUPA_ROLE_ADD_2'
  EXPORTING
    businesspartner             = '0000004439'
    businesspartnerrolecategory = p_catlog
    businesspartnerrole         = p_roles
  TABLES
    return                      = return.
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'
  EXPORTING
    wait   = 'X'
  IMPORTING
    return = return1.
The module BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT is a must. It saves the data processed by the BAPI.
THe table RETURN , returned by all BAPIs holds the errors that may have occured during processing.
I hope this makes the usage clear. Do let me know for any further clarifications!
