• Key Concepts: 
  A complex type is a data type in SAP that allows for the definition of a structure with multiple fields. It is used to define a data structure that can be used to store multiple values in a single field. It is part of the Platform Foundational Capabilities (LOD-SF-PLT) component of SAP. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Complex types can be used to store multiple values in a single field. This can be useful when dealing with large amounts of data, as it allows for more efficient storage and retrieval of data. To create a complex type, you must first define the structure of the type, which includes the fields and their data types. Once the structure is defined, you can then create an instance of the complex type and assign values to its fields. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a complex type, it is important to consider how the data will be used and what types of operations will be performed on it. This will help ensure that the structure is optimized for the intended purpose. Additionally, it is important to consider how the data will be stored and retrieved, as this will affect performance.
