Hi,

Function modules are one element. There are no types. However sometimes an RFC enabled function module is referred to as RFC Function module, but really it is just a function module. Also BAPIs are function modules, but are usually referred to as just BAPI as opposed to BAPI Function module.

There is no different function module types , but calling the function module will be different.

check this function calls syntax

1. Calls a function module:

- CALL FUNCTION func.

2. Call a function module in a different mode (asynchronous Remote Function Call):

- CALL FUNCTION func STARTING NEW TASK taskname.

3. Call a function module in the update task:

- CALL FUNCTION func IN UPDATE TASK.

4. Call a function module in a remote system (Remote Function Call, RFC 😞

- CALL FUNCTION func DESTINATION dest.

5. Asynchronous call to a function module with transactional processing (transactional Remote Function Call):

- CALL FUNCTION func IN BACKGROUND TASK.

qRFC with output queue

6. Call a function module that can be activated in the context of enhancements:

- CALL CUSTOMER-FUNCTION func.

Hi Sachin.

Open any FM in SE37.

Select the Attributes Tab:

in The Processing Type you can see the Types of FMs

1.Normal FM - Can be called within the Same SAP System

CALL FUNCTION '<NAME>'

2. Remote Enable FM : Can be called from External (SAP or NON SAP) system.

CALL FUNCTION '<NAME>' DESTINATION '<RFC DESTINATION>'

3. Update Module: Only for Updating database tables . processed in Update work process.

CALL FUNCTION '<FM>' IN UPDATE TASK.
