Data exchange
Data exchange refers to the transfer of information between applications or systems so that data does not have to be entered manually more than once. The aim is for the same information to be available consistently in both systems and for processes to run without media discontinuity. In practical terms, data exchange can mean that master data or document data is transferred on a regular basis, for example via data import and data export. Technically, this is often handled through a defined interface, which specifies which data is transferred and in what format.
