What is BDocs in SAP

BDocs stands for Business Document, used for the data exchange and processing in a SAP CRM system environment. BDocs are used to carry business object as a single unit so the individual tables are not required to be transferred.

CRM middleware connects the CRM system and ECC systems, middleware helps to exchange the business objects from system to another systems. Bdoc in CRM middleware transfer the data through qRFC.

  1. mBDoc (Message BDocs) used for the messaging b/w the systems of SAP ECC or other system and SAP CRM System.
  2. sBDoc (Synchronization BDocs) use for processing and handling the data in mobile clients.
