Hi eliram yakar,

if you are "inside" SAP-Systems and want to communicate with another system, use RFC.

If you want to access an SAP-Systems, respectively data in an SAP-System, using media like the Internet, use web services.

Hi,

Remote Function Call (RFC) is the standard SAP interface for communication between SAP systems. RFC calls a function to be executed in a remote system.

A 'Web service' (also Web Service) is defined by the W3C as "a software system designed to support interoperable machine-to-machine interaction over a network". Web services are frequently just Web APIs that can be accessed over a network, such as the Internet, and executed on a remote system hosting the requested services.
