I'd say they are essentially the same. Conversions are typically done when you "go live". Interfaces can be part of periodic processing.

Standard SAP program RFBIBL00 is the data transfer program for FI documents.

Hi Venkat,

Interface and Conversion program with BDC are same.

Only the difference in the mode of execution.

<b>Conversions Program</b> - mainly used for master data

migration. Mostly will be executed standalone and

once .

<b>Interface Programs</b> - These program will be executed

periodically for Transaction data upload(may be

for some periodic report). So these programs are

scheduled.

Reward points if this helps.

periodically.
