Business Object Repository
BOR Definition
All SAP Business Object types and SAP Interface Types and their methods are defined
and described in the R/3 Business Object Repository (BOR). The Business Object
Repository was introduced in R/3 Release 3.0, at the same as time as SAP Business
Objects and SAP Business Workflow. Presently, the BOR is mainly used by SAP
Business Workflow.
The BOR has two essential functions:
It defines and describes SAP Business Objects and SAP Interface Types and
their BAPIs.
It creates instances of SAP Business Objects
BAPI programming
BAPIs are defined in the Business Object Repository (BOR) as methods of SAP Business
Objects or SAP Interface Types and are implemented as function modules. The
separation of a BAPI definition from its actual implementation enables you to access a
BAPI in two ways:
You can call the BAPI in the BOR through object-oriented method calls
You can make RFC calls to the function module on which the BAPI is based
Some Standard BAPIS
