Business Communication Interface

Definition

Standard interface for sending from the SAP system and receiving in the SAP system. The Business Communication Interface (BCI) controls the processing of documents to be sent from the SAP system, including the status confirmations and the receipt of documents.

Structure

The BCI is implemented via objects from the Business Object Repository (BOR). A send process is split into steps that can be executed by calling methods. An object model, which is completely implemented, containing all the object types required in order to send, along with the corresponding methods, is available for this. This model is based on the two objects types MESSAGE and RECIPIENT.
