  • Key Concepts: 
    Object reference is a feature of the Business Object Builder (BOB) component of SAP software. It allows users to create and maintain relationships between objects, such as tables, views, and structures. Object references are used to define the data structure of an object and to ensure that the data is consistent across different objects.
    
    How to use it: 
    Object references can be created in BOB by selecting the “Create Object Reference” option from the menu. This will open a dialog box where users can select the source and target objects for the reference. Once the objects have been selected, users can define the type of relationship between them, such as one-to-one or one-to-many. After defining the relationship, users can save the object reference. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When creating object references, it is important to ensure that the data types of the source and target objects are compatible. This will ensure that data is consistent across different objects and that any changes made to one object will be reflected in all other related objects. 
    
    Related Information: 
    For more information on object references in BOB, please refer to SAP’s official documentation on Business Object Builder (BOB). Additionally, there are many online tutorials available that provide step-by-step instructions on how to create and manage object references in BOB.
