• Key Concepts: 
  Aggregate type is a feature of the Business Object Builder (BOB) component of SAP software. It is used to define the structure of a business object, which is a collection of related data elements. Aggregate types are used to group related data elements into logical units, such as customer information or product information. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use aggregate types, you must first create a business object in the Business Object Builder. Once the business object is created, you can then define the structure of the business object by creating aggregate types. Each aggregate type will contain one or more data elements that are related to each other. For example, if you are creating a customer information business object, you could create an aggregate type for customer name, address, and phone number. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an aggregate type, it is important to consider how the data elements will be used in the future. For example, if you are creating an aggregate type for customer information, you may want to include additional fields such as customer preferences or purchase history. This will allow you to easily access this information in the future when needed.
