Term interface is primarily used when we are transferring data from /to R/3 from another system.

From your explanation, it looks like you are going to get a inbound file, that you need to process.

For inbound interfaces, usually the different types of interfaces are Invoices , Material master update (in case of legacy system). You will need to process the inbound file and then use either a BAPI (SAP Provide Business interfaces) or BDC (in very rare cases when BAPIs are not available) to post the document to SAP.

For outbound interfaces, usually there will a report program which will read the appropriate tables or BAPIs if available and write to output file in desired format.

Sometimes instead of writing / reading from file, R/3 uses idoc for data transfer
