• Key Concepts: 
  Remote Function Adapter (RFA) is a component of SAP Profitability and Performance Management (FS-PER) that enables users to access and execute remote functions from within the SAP system. It provides a secure connection between the SAP system and external systems, allowing users to access data from external sources without having to leave the SAP system. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use RFA, users must first configure the connection between the SAP system and the external system. This can be done by setting up a secure connection using an authentication protocol such as OAuth or SAML. Once the connection is established, users can access and execute remote functions from within the SAP system. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When configuring the connection between the SAP system and the external system, it is important to ensure that all security protocols are properly configured. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all data is encrypted when transferring between systems.
