• Key Concepts: 
  Outbound processing is a component of the ALE (Application Link Enabling) Integration Technology in SAP. It is used to send data from one SAP system to another, or from an SAP system to a non-SAP system. Outbound processing is also known as "distribution" or "sending". 
  
  How to use it: 
  Outbound processing is used to send data from one SAP system to another, or from an SAP system to a non-SAP system. This can be done using the ALE distribution model, which consists of three steps: creating an outbound IDoc, sending the IDoc, and confirming the receipt of the IDoc. The outbound IDoc contains the data that needs to be sent, and it is sent using either an ALE distribution model or a direct connection. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up outbound processing, it is important to ensure that the correct settings are used for each step of the process. For example, when creating an outbound IDoc, it is important to ensure that all required fields are filled in correctly. Additionally, when sending the IDoc, it is important to ensure that the correct communication channel is used. 
  
  Related Information: 
  Outbound processing is closely related to inbound processing, which is used to receive data from another SAP system or a non-SAP system. Additionally, outbound processing can be used in conjunction with other ALE components such as message control and change pointers.
