• Key Concepts: 
  Object plugins are a type of ABAP runtime environment component used to extend the functionality of an existing ABAP program. They are used to add additional features or functions to an existing program without having to modify the source code. Object plugins are written in ABAP and can be used to add custom logic, data validation, or other features to an existing program. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Object plugins are used in conjunction with the ABAP runtime environment. To use an object plugin, you must first create the plugin in the ABAP development environment. Once the plugin is created, it can be added to an existing program by using the “Add Plugin” command in the ABAP runtime environment. The plugin will then be executed when the program is run. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an object plugin, it is important to ensure that it is written in a way that is compatible with the existing program. Additionally, it is important to test the plugin thoroughly before adding it to a production system.
