Hi Manas,

Have you actually sat down and thought what the difference might be? The big clue is in the words INbound and OUTbound.

Or are you not sure what an actual interface is?

Inbound interface is used to get data into SAP from outside system, this can be a simple file upload too.

But Outbound interface means sending data outside SAP system so it can be a simple file download too.

Hope this answers your question.

If it is file related, then we use function modules GUI_UPLOAD or GUI_DOWNLOAD.

If it is related sending data to other system or extracting data from other system, we use TIBCO, XI to connect both systems.

What are you exactly looking for?

Hi,

while we r using the interfaces like BAPI/IDOC at that time while we r sending data r recieving data at that time the interfaces takes as synchronus r asynchronus process. by using this we can check our data is going correctly r not i BAPI. whaere as in idoc we have a status record is there it will maintain the staus of the recods. Here we can check.

status records of idoc tcode is we47.

i think ur doubt is closed.

please reward points, if it is useful.

regards,

satish.
