Hi,
If you are wondering, how BAPIs/RFCs come into XI system then below are few points to be considered.
1. First of all there should be a connection between XI & R3 system to communicate with each other.
2. Scecondly the BAPIs/RFCs in R3 system should be "Remote enabled".
3. Login to Integratin Repository then open your corresponding namespace and expand Imported Objects then right click on RFCs and press continue. It will ask you to provide the IP address, User ID & passord of R3 system. Once you provide the correct authonication details it will return al list of all BAPIS/RFCs present in R3 system. Just select you BAPI and continue. Once it is done you can see you corresponding BAPI under Imported objects.
I hope the above information will help you.
