Hi Babu,

Business Object Delegation is a suitable approach to use a BO. It avoids creation of existing functionality and also allows you to enhance the existing BO with custom functionality by allowing addition of attributes, methods and events.

Please check the following link:

Hope this helps!

Hi,

If the existing std. business object does not fully suit ur process requirement, we go for the enhancement of the bus. object. this is done as follows:

1) Create a sub type for the existing std. bus object.(Dont copy it)

2) Include ur new attributes, methods & events in the newly created bus. object

3) Generate it with out errors.(You hav to implement & release all ur custom attributes, methods , events separately)

4) Now in the first screen on SWO1, u hav the option 'Delegate' under 'Settings' menu. Just click it.

5) U will b taken to a screen whr u hav the option to make new entry. Just mention ur std bus. object and custom bus object and save it.

6) Now the custom & std. bus. object r linked. U can refer to custom objects, attributes, methods & event using the std. bus. object's reference only(i.e) u need not use the custom object's name to refer aattribute or method or event).

Hi,

Some more input...

Delegation lets you implement your own business logic without modifying any SAP code. As long as the objects are properly delegated, your method will be executed.

One of the most complex concepts in object-oriented development is that of inheritance. This concept lets you extend core functionality by creating a child of the parent object that inherits all of its attributes and methods. For example, a Manager object is a subtype (child) of the Employee object. The Manager object has all the attributes of an Employee object (such as EmployeeID or Name) but also has some extra attributes (such as CompanyCar or ParkingSpace). SAP has not implemented inheritance in the BOR. However, it has provided subtyping and delegation, which offer an alternative way to extend R/3 functionality.

You can delegate throught the transaction SWO1.

Also you can have alook at this site.....
