• Key Concepts: 
  An interface object is a type of object in SAP's Exchange Infrastructure (XI) component. It is used to define the structure of data that is exchanged between two systems. It contains the data elements, their types, and the order in which they are sent. Interface objects are used to ensure that data is exchanged in a consistent and reliable manner.
  
  How to use it: 
  Interface objects are created in the Integration Builder of the Exchange Infrastructure component. They can be used to define the structure of data that is sent from one system to another. The interface object can then be used as a template for creating messages that will be sent between the two systems.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an interface object, it is important to ensure that all of the data elements are correctly defined. This includes specifying the type of data (e.g. string, integer, etc.) and the order in which they should be sent. This will ensure that the data is correctly interpreted by both systems.
