• Key Concepts: 
  Interface pattern is a feature of the BC-MID Middleware component of SAP. It is used to define the structure of communication between two systems. It defines the data elements that are exchanged between the two systems, as well as the format and order in which they are exchanged. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Interface patterns are used to ensure that data is exchanged between two systems in a consistent and reliable manner. To use an interface pattern, you must first define the data elements that will be exchanged between the two systems. Then, you must define the format and order in which these data elements will be exchanged. Finally, you must configure the interface pattern in SAP so that it can be used for communication between the two systems. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When defining an interface pattern, it is important to consider how often the data will be exchanged between the two systems. If the data is exchanged frequently, it may be beneficial to create a more complex interface pattern with more detailed rules for exchanging data. On the other hand, if the data is only exchanged occasionally, a simpler interface pattern may be sufficient.
