• Key Concepts: 
  Adaptive Remote Function Call (ARFC) is a component of the BC-WD Web Dynpro in SAP. It allows for remote function calls to be made from a web browser to an SAP system. This enables users to access data and functions from the SAP system without having to log into the system itself. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use ARFC, users must first create a web Dynpro application in the SAP system. This application will contain the remote function calls that can be accessed from the web browser. Once the application is created, users can then access the remote functions by entering the URL of the application into their web browser. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an ARFC application, it is important to ensure that all of the necessary security settings are in place. This will ensure that only authorized users can access the remote functions. Additionally, it is important to test the application thoroughly before deploying it to ensure that all of the remote functions are working correctly.
