  Key Concepts: 
  A supertype is a type of Business Object Builder (BOB) component in SAP. It is used to define the common characteristics of a group of related objects. Supertypes are used to create a hierarchy of objects, allowing for the reuse of common attributes and methods across multiple objects. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Supertypes are used to create a hierarchical structure for objects in SAP. This allows for the reuse of common attributes and methods across multiple objects. To create a supertype, you must first define the common characteristics that will be shared by all objects in the hierarchy. Once this is done, you can then create subtypes that inherit the attributes and methods from the supertype. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a supertype, it is important to consider how it will be used in the future. Think about what attributes and methods will be needed by all subtypes and make sure they are included in the supertype definition. This will ensure that all subtypes have access to the same set of features.
