Hi Jagadish,

Business Warehousing is collecting enterprise data from different source systems where as Business Objects is reporting enterprise data.

BW Example: An enterprise operating in different regions of a country and each of them have different databases. Again these databases may be of same vendor or different vendors. Their structure and nomenclature again may be different. But, managers would like to see and analyse the business at country level. Then, we need to combine the data in a meaningful way for analyzing purpose.

BO Example: An enterprise is using a business application to perform it's business. When users of that application enter data into that application and data gets generated. For analyzing this data, we need Business Objects. Using BO, we make Web Intelligence reports, Dash boards etc. These reports can also be scheduled to be sent to managers.

They are totally different tools, but related tools. Relation is that Business Objects may be used as next step of Business Warehousing.

SAP BO package contains different products in it, like Web Intelligence, Universe Design Tool etc.
