RFC means remote function call,
these are the function modules which can help u to access across the sap and from sap to third party front end,
IDOC means intermediate document, which can help u to carry the data from sap to non-sap.
this is two types,
one is ALE,
and second is EDI.
ALE uses to tranfer the data across sap systems
where as EDI uses to transfer the data from sap to third party front end.
BAPI means Business application programing interface which is the RFC enable function module and uses in OOPS concept.
ALE/ IDOC

hi
BAPI is nothing but the Business process programing interface which are standard and stable and these are store in the business object repository.
Standardized programming interface that enables external applications to access business processes and data in an SAP System
RFC is the remote function call which is used to call the function remotely which may be in same system or ather system
its also used communication between SAP systems , between SAP systems ,external systems.
thanks

RFC:
RFC --- > Function module and general will be used to make call to function
sending the function (XI has RFC adapter)
BAPI:
BAPI ---> Other version of RFC (Objected oriented) mostly we will use for Sync
calls (Mostly in XI using proxies we will call BAPI's)

Hi,
RFC are remote enabled function module for communication between SAP systems and between SAP systems and external systems.
BAPIs are implemented as RFC-enabled function modules and are created in the Function Builder of the ABAP Workbench.
Standardized programming interface that enables external applications to access business processes and data in an SAP System.
BAPIs are defined in the BOR as methods of SAP business object types that carry out specific business functions

hi
This is a short description of BAPI and RFC
BAPI stands for Business Application Programming Interface. It is a library of functions that are released to the public as an interface into an existing SAP system from an external system.
RFC is the protocol used to call functions in an R/3 system by a caller external to R/3 or to call programs external to R/3 from an R/3 system.
Thanks
