• Key Concepts: 
  RAP BO standard operation is a component of the BC-ESI-RAP RESTful ABAP Programming Model. It is a set of operations that allow developers to create, read, update, and delete business objects in SAP systems. The operations are based on the Representational State Transfer (REST) architecture, which is a popular way of creating web services. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use RAP BO standard operations, developers must first create a business object in the SAP system. This can be done using the ABAP Object Services (AOS) framework. Once the business object is created, developers can use the RAP BO standard operations to perform CRUD (create, read, update, and delete) operations on the business object. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using RAP BO standard operations, it is important to remember that they are based on the REST architecture. This means that developers must be familiar with HTTP methods such as GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE when using these operations. Additionally, developers should be aware of the different status codes that can be returned when performing CRUD operations on a business object.
