ZOBJECT TYPES

[Svanikier, Helena]

Hi Diane
If you don't want to change anything in the objecttype(i.e. additional
Attributes, additional method etc.) you don't have to create a subtype. So
you can create all your standard tasks using the object types delivered by
SAP. If further in the process you realise, that you do need to make changes
to the delivered object types, you would create Subtypes (ZOBJECT TYPES).
 
If you define a delegation between the delivered object type and your object
type, you won't have to change all you standard tasks, you can continue to
use delivered object type. Thanks to the delegation you will be able to
access your newly created attributes, methods and events without having to
refer to the subtype itself.
 
I hope I made myself clear...

Hi guys (implied gals too), great site.  Lots of information.  I need
verification on something.  In all my training we used a copy of the SAP
delivered object types, i.e., ZBUS2001, in lieu of BUS2001, etc.,  Now that
we are creating standard tasks, I want to make sure that we need to make
this copy.  What is a rule of thumb.  Should we in fact make a copy of any
object type we use or only in the case of when we want to modify the object?
Or should we copy the objects at all?
