  Key Concepts: 
  Data type is a classification of data that defines the type of data that can be stored in a particular field. In SAP Business One (SBO), data types are used to define the type of information that can be stored in a field, such as text, numbers, dates, and so on. 
  
  How to use it: 
  When creating a new field in SBO, you will need to select a data type for the field. This will determine what kind of information can be stored in the field. For example, if you want to store a date, you would select the “date” data type. If you want to store a number, you would select the “number” data type. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When selecting a data type for a field, make sure that it is appropriate for the kind of information that you want to store. For example, if you want to store a number, do not select the “text” data type.
