Object name & name

[Former Member]

Hi all,

When we try to create a bussiness object through transaction SWO1,it asks us for object name & name.

Can anyone please tell me the difference between them & what actually they are?

For Object name :

Descriptive, English ID of a business object in the Business Object Repository (BOR).

Business objects are identified in the BOR both by their object ID (for example, SalesOrder) and by an internal, technical key (for example, BUS2032). Both means of identification must be unique among all object types.

Business objects are often addressed using the object ID from external applications, whereas within the BOR they are usually identified using the internal key. Initially only the internal key was used, but the extensive use of business objects gave rise to the need for addressing them using an ID. For compatibility reasons, both means of identification are now maintained.

The object ID is in English and can be a maximum of 32 characters, using both uppercase and lowercase.

Examples:

o Material

o BusinessPartner

o SalesOrder

The object ID is also used as a proposed name for container elements in the workflow container and task container, if an element is to be created there with a reference to an object of the type in question.

for NAME :

The name should be meaningful enough for it to be used to select an object type.

Hi,

Object type is the type that you are crating by taking the superclass or independently.

Object name is descriptive, English ID of a business object in the Business Object Repository (BOR).

Hi,

As per SAP documentation,

Object name

The object name is specified when the object type is created. The object name has 20 characters and should be in English regardless of the user language. To make the object name easier to read, upper and lower cases should be used.

Object type name

The object type name is a short, language-dependent text with 20 characters, which can be used on screens or in lists to identify the object type.

The object type name is entered when the object type is created. It can be changed at any time in the basic data.
