Hey

both IDOC and RFC serve different purposes.

IDOC is mainly used for async communications whereas RFC is used for sync communications(you can ofcourse use RFC for async communication as well).

RFC is not a data container,it calls a function module which gets executed.

IDOC on the other hand is a data container,it holds the data(infact a copy of data).

Thanx

Hi Srinivas,

File to IDOC is for Asynchronous process. i.e. we send the request and don't wait for ant response from SAP R/3.

File to RFC can be Synchronous process. when we are mapping response from RFC to some other file.
