# Connect to SAP RFC
The SAP RFC connector can be used for SAP systems even if they are behind a firewall. Whether there is a firewall or not, you can place an on-prem agent near the SAP system (in the same subnet).
# Configuration setup for RFC communication with SAP
Connecting the SAP RFC connector to Workato for IDocs is a multi-step process. To configure the connection, complete these phases in the following order:
- Create RFC destination for Workato in SAP
- Create a Workato integration user in SAP
- Configure the Workato OPA
- Configure the Workato SAP connector
- Optional: Configure IDocs to/from Workato in SAP
