Hi Subhasis,

You mean to say Inbound Interface?

As the name suggests, anything which is coming in the system (SAP) is called as inbound interface.

Lets say I have a SRM system connected to my SAP system and data is flowing from SRM to SAP, so there will be some inbound interface to get the data in SAP system.

Reward points if useful.

Hi Subhasis,

An interface basically is an interconnection between systems for exchange of data.

Suppose I have two systems SAP and CRM. SAP is sending data to CRM.

Then on SAP side I have a Outbound interface to send the data to CRM and on CRM side I have an Inbound interface to receiver the incoming data from SAP.

Hope this helps.

Hi Subhasis,

Interface is the communication medium/channel that enables data exchange between sender and receiver.

This channel/layer (middleware) receives data from the sender and sends data to the receiver.

Now on the sender side you need to do configurations/settings to send the data to the middleware. This pertains to outbound interface.

On the receiver side you need to make provision to receive data. The configurations/settings pertaining to this relates to inbound interface.

Hope this helps.

Hi

<b>Inbound Interface:</b> SAP communicates with many systems with the help of Files/Messages/Direct connections.

Whenever any ext5ernal system wants to communicate to SAP, it sends a file/IDOC/Message to SAP system with some predefined format.This type of communication which is Incoming to SAP is called as Inbound Interface.

<b>Example :</b>

Lets Assume that your company communicate with Customer with the help of <b>Files</b>.

When customer sends request for Purchasing some goods ,they will put all the request data in to a file ,and send it to your companies SAP system.

But there must be some reading mechanism in your companies SAP system which will get the data from the file (Which might be coming in a perticular directory) and represent it in SAP in the form of PURCHASE ORDER.

This type of Incoming Communication to SAP is called Inbound Interface...

Hope it will help
