• Key Concepts: 
  A service call in SAP is a request for a service from the OPU-GW (Gateway) component. It is used to access data from external systems, such as databases or web services, and to send data back to those systems. The service call is initiated by the client application and is handled by the OPU-GW component. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use a service call, the client application must first create a request object that contains the necessary information for the service call. This request object is then sent to the OPU-GW component, which processes the request and returns a response object containing the requested data. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a service call request, it is important to ensure that all required parameters are included in the request object. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the response object contains all of the expected data.
