Hi Rohit,

RFC is a call of a function module that runs in a different system (destination) from the calling program. Connections are possible between different AS ABAP and between an AS ABAP and a non-SAP system. In non-SAP systems, instead of function modules, special programmed functions are called, whose interface simulates a function module. We distinguish between synchronous, asynchronous, and transactional function calls. The called system is accessed via the RFC interface.

You can check and define different types of RFCs in transaction SM59.

RFC - Remote fn call.

Remote enabled FM can be called from sap only like portal

but not from java or Vb

BAPI is also a RFC but it can be called from

outside SAP like JAVA or VB.

as it is in the BOR(business object repository) of SAP

Please reward points
