Why many interfaces?

48 Views

Hi Experts,I am recently trained on xi, I have confusion in xi project.Here is my doubt--

Why in a single project we create many interfaces(idoc to file, soap to rfc, rfc to file etc)

For an example a client has implemented SAP and wants to transfer some data(say Material master data) to a non SAP system within the company,since the non sap system cannot understand the format of data in the sender SAP system we use xi and create interface idoc to file in this case.

But why in a project like this we require to go with creating other interfaces ile SOAP to RFC, RFC to file etc.

Could someone help me with the flow of project? Please!!
