Hi,

Out bound idocs are the idocs which move out from ur system to other system and Inbound idocs are the one which ur system accepts. These are done using logical syatems assignment where in u can set the outbound and inbound systems.

Partner profiles are set to obtain this.

Thanks

Hello,

Inbound is file(in bdc) , IDOC(in ALE). Which comes in SAP system from legacy or another SAP system.

Outbound is, in case of idoc, one which goes out from SAP Sytem to another system. Iam not sure if there exists outbound for BDC.

Hi..

if the data is coming in to the SAP System that is called as an inbound interface and if the data is going out from SAP system it is called an outbound interface .

Ex:

if you are uploading data from an excel file to SAP System it is an Example for Inbound interface and all the report programs which read the data from the database are examples of outbound interface.
