Hi,

RFCs-

-Useful when it is already in place.

-No effort required to recode in the ABAP proxy.

-Overhead of function calls.

Proxies-

-Helpful when large volume of data is processing.

- Need to code it .

-Skillset and Effort is required.

Hi,

RFC

1. less volume

2. Standard BAPI

3. sync message

Proxy

1. High volume

2. better error handling

2. sync/async

Hi Gopal

Use Idoc adapter if standard Idoc is available to meet the business requirements.

Use RFC adapter if the data volume is less and there are standard BAPI’s available to achieve the functionality otherwise we face critical performance bottlenecks.

Best option is to use a proxy while handling large volumes and developing a custom business processes.
