  Object type is a term used in SAP Controlling (CO) to refer to the type of object that is being created or modified. It is used to classify objects in the system and can be used to determine which objects are available for certain tasks. For example, an object type of “cost center” would indicate that the object is a cost center and can be used for cost center-related tasks. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Object types are used when creating or modifying objects in SAP Controlling. When creating an object, the user must select the appropriate object type from a list of available types. This will determine which fields are available for the object and which tasks can be performed with it.

  When selecting an object type, it is important to make sure that it is the correct type for the task at hand. If an incorrect type is selected, it may not be possible to perform certain tasks with the object.
