The Package Builder tool allows us to implement the concept of the package in the ABAP Workbench for the first time ever. Packages are designed to help developers modularize, encapsulate, and decouple units in the SAP System. They are a further development of the concept of the development class used today and contain additional semantics.

In particular, the Package Builder is used to migrate existing development classes to packages, making it a new tool for developing and maintaining development classes.

Hi,

Package is a collection of objects.

We assign every object that we create in a package while we save, since we can have each individual developments in there package name assigned. Instead if all the developments are stored in one point then that might be highly difficult to identify individual developments.

And even this package helps a lot for the Basis guys where suppose if they want to transport any object that is developed then easily they can identify all the details in the concern packages.

So Package is like a storewell for a developer to store his developments in a systematic way.

Cheers!!
