• Key Concepts: 
  Draft-enabled RAP business object is a feature of the BC-ESI-RAP RESTful ABAP Programming Model. It allows developers to create and manage business objects in a draft state, meaning that they can be modified and saved without being immediately visible to other users. This feature is useful for creating and testing new business objects before making them available to the public.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the draft-enabled RAP business object feature, developers must first create a draft version of the business object. This can be done by using the CREATE_DRAFT method of the BC-ESI-RAP RESTful ABAP Programming Model. Once the draft version is created, developers can make changes to it and save it without making it visible to other users. When the changes are complete, developers can then publish the draft version of the business object by using the PUBLISH_DRAFT method.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a draft version of a business object, it is important to remember that any changes made to the draft version will not be visible to other users until it is published. Therefore, it is important to thoroughly test any changes before publishing them. Additionally, developers should keep in mind that any changes made to a published version of a business object will be immediately visible to other users.
