RFC Function Modules :- You can call from same system or from another possible. In RFC function module you can only have pass by value. In the same system if you are going to add the DESTINATION NONE’ while calling the RFC then it’ll be called in separate session. 3. UPDATE Function Modules :- This is generally used to update the database record. Update Function Module can be called from the same system. ( Background RFC / trfc / grfc ) This is used to achieve generally the SAP LUW. Some time we use from performance perspective also. When COMMIT WORK gets executed then Update starts getting executed.
