Hi,
As I known, there are two kinds of SAP interfaces, BAPI that can support exchanging data in synchronization process and ALE that can support exchanging data in asynchrony process. From my point of view, IDOC and RFC should include in ALE port.
BAPIs were introduced in R/3 3.1G. For those who are new to SAP programming, please describe BAPIs and their functionality.
Schuessler: BAPI is short for Business Application Programming Interface. A BAPI is a method of an SAP object type that can be called from an external program. An example would be SalesOrder. Create FromData which enables you to build your own front-end for order taking, for example in a Web application running on a Java application server (Brunskill, 2001).
As we known, One of examples of using IDoc is used to exchange data between EDI and SAP. Another example is used to exchange data between MES and SAP.
I wish these could be helpful a little. If I were wrong, please correct me. Thank you!
Cheers!
