key field is unique identifier of Business object. if you take example salesorder (BUS2032) salesorder number is the key. similarly for purchase order(BUS2012) it is Purchase order.

Key fields in Business objects are used for unique idenfication

For example for a business object : BUS1001006 Standard material

key field is material no

for method StandardMaterial.Create

function module : BAPI_STANDARDMATERIAL_CREATE for material create

please check this link for more idea
