• Key Concepts: 
  Outbound is a process in SAP ALE (Application Link Enabling) Integration Technology that involves sending data from one system to another. It is used to transfer data from an SAP system to a non-SAP system, or from one SAP system to another. Outbound processing is also known as "sending" or "exporting" data. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Outbound processing is initiated by the sending system, which sends out a message containing the data to be transferred. The receiving system then processes the message and stores the data in its own database. The sending system can also receive a response from the receiving system, which can be used to confirm that the data was successfully received and processed. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up outbound processing, it is important to ensure that the data being sent is in the correct format for the receiving system. It is also important to ensure that the receiving system has the necessary permissions and access rights to process the data. 
  
  Related Information: 
  Inbound processing is the opposite of outbound processing, and involves receiving data from another system. Inbound processing is also known as "receiving" or "importing" data.
