• Key Concepts: 
  Inheritance is a feature of Business Object Builder (BOB) in SAP that allows developers to create new objects based on existing objects. This means that the new object will inherit the properties and methods of the existing object, allowing developers to quickly create new objects with minimal effort. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Inheritance can be used in BOB by creating a new object and selecting the “Inherit from” option. This will allow developers to select an existing object from which the new object will inherit its properties and methods. Once the existing object is selected, developers can then customize the new object as needed. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using inheritance in BOB, it is important to remember that any changes made to the existing object will also be applied to any objects that have inherited from it. Therefore, it is important to ensure that any changes made to the existing object are compatible with any objects that have inherited from it.
