And it is used to make new attributes and/or methods and/or events available for your workflows while allowing you to refer to the standard BOR object types.

Example: you need company code available in a purchase requisition workflow on item level. You create subtype BUS2009 with a virtual attribute for company code and implement the attribute. By delegating you can e.g. use BUS2009 in a triggering event, and then refer to your new attribute in the object reference you received from the event.

If you <b>don't</b> delegate your workflow will have to use object type ZBUS2009 to access your new attribute. So either that object type has to be triggered (i.e. not by standard SAP code), or you have to use an additional container element and convert from the BUS2009 to the ZBUS2009 object in your WF (you can possibly convert it by using programmed binding too, but delegation is easier).
