Hi Pratibha,

You genrally create a business system for systems which are part of your system landscape, or else you create business service.

Business Service is created for abstract systems, for example there might be a company which is part of your XI scenario, but their system is not part of your landscape however they ave provided you their interfaces, in this case u will be using a business service.

For example

i have scenario where i have to pick data from mainframe(FILE) and post it to R/3 through XI. Then i would create a business system for R/3 and a business service for the file system.

For business service you will have to assign the inbound and outbound interfaces in ID explicitly unlike for a business system.

Pls go through these too:
