• Key Concepts: 
  BAdI reference is a component of the BC-ABA ABAP Runtime Environment. It is a type of Business Add-In (BAdI) that allows developers to create custom programs and applications that can be used in SAP systems. BAdI references are used to define the interface between the application and the BAdI, allowing for the integration of custom code into the SAP system. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use a BAdI reference, developers must first create a BAdI definition in the ABAP Dictionary. This definition will include the interface between the application and the BAdI, as well as any parameters that need to be passed between them. Once this is done, developers can then create a BAdI reference in their program or application. This reference will point to the BAdI definition and allow for the integration of custom code into the SAP system. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a BAdI reference, it is important to ensure that all parameters are correctly defined. This will ensure that the custom code is properly integrated into the SAP system. Additionally, it is important to test the BAdI reference before deploying it in production, as any errors could cause unexpected results.
