  Key Concepts: 
  In the SAP Application Platform (AP), an association is a relationship between two objects. It is used to link objects together and define how they interact with each other. Associations can be used to define relationships between different types of objects, such as between a customer and an order, or between a product and a supplier. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In the SAP Application Platform, associations are created by defining the relationship between two objects. This is done by specifying the type of relationship, such as “is-a” or “has-a”, and then providing additional information about the relationship. For example, if you wanted to create an association between a customer and an order, you would specify that the customer “has-a” order, and then provide additional information about the order, such as its status or date. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating associations in the SAP Application Platform, it is important to ensure that the relationships are defined accurately. This will help ensure that the data is correctly linked and that any queries or reports based on the data will be accurate. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all associations are properly documented so that they can be easily understood by other users.
