  Generate is a function in the BC-FES-GUI Graphical User Interface (GUI) of SAP software. It allows users to create a new version of an existing object, such as a program, screen, or report. Generate creates a copy of the object and stores it in the system. This allows users to make changes to the object without affecting the original version. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the Generate function, open the object you want to create a copy of in the GUI. Then, select the Generate option from the menu bar. This will create a new version of the object and store it in the system. You can then make changes to this new version without affecting the original. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using Generate, it is important to remember to save your changes before exiting the GUI. This will ensure that your changes are saved and that you don’t lose any work. Additionally, it is important to remember that Generate only creates a copy of an existing object; it does not delete or modify the original version.
