hi ,

Inbound is nothing but data coming from legacy system or other sap/non sap system into the sap system. whereas outbound is the data going from the sap system.

if the data is coming in to the SAP System that is called as an inbound interface and if the data is going out from SAP system it is called an outbound interface .

Ex:

if you are uploading data from an excel file to SAP System it is an Example for Inbound interface and all the report programs which read the data from the database are examples of outbound interface.

Hi,

Interface means the manner in which a SAP system in connected to a non-SAP or legacy system.

There are different means of communication between a SAP and a legacy system and generally it is through IDocs(Intermediate Documents).

Idocs are inbound or outbound.Inbound Idocs are those idocs which carry data from a legacy system to the SAP system and outbound Idocs are Idocs which carry data from SAP system to the legacy system.

The method used for commication between SAP/Non-SAP systems can be various such as EDI(Electronic Data Interchange) or ALE but Idocs are the information carriers between systems.

Hope it was useful.

Thanks,

Sandeep.
