• Key Concepts: 
  Redefinition is a feature of the CA-WUI-GOL Generic Object Layer (GOL) in SAP software. It allows users to modify the structure of an existing object without having to recreate it from scratch. This can be useful when making changes to an object that has already been created, such as adding or removing fields, changing field types, or changing the order of fields.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the redefinition feature, users must first select the object they wish to modify. Then, they can select the “Redefine” option from the menu. This will open a window where users can make changes to the object’s structure. Once all changes have been made, users can save the new version of the object and it will be available for use.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the redefinition feature, it is important to remember that any changes made will affect all existing instances of the object. Therefore, it is important to thoroughly test any changes before saving them. Additionally, it is recommended that users create a backup of the original version of the object before making any changes.
