  Key Concepts: 
  Subtype is a feature of the Business Object Builder (BOB) in SAP that allows users to create a new object type based on an existing object type. This new object type is referred to as a subtype and it inherits all the properties of the original object type. Subtypes can be used to customize objects for specific business needs, such as creating a customer-specific product or service. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To create a subtype, users must first select an existing object type in BOB. Then, they can add additional properties to the object type, such as custom fields or methods. Once the subtype is created, it can be used in any application that uses the original object type. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a subtype, it is important to consider how it will be used in the application. For example, if the subtype will be used for customer-specific products or services, then it should include fields that are specific to those products or services. Additionally, users should consider how the subtype will interact with other objects in the application.
