In this Customizing activity, you define object types, which are the basis for object references.

Object types represent an abstract data model for certain semantic entities, such as Material, which can be used for data retrieval and validation in remote systems.

To define a new object type from scratch, you need an abstract data model in the business object layer (BOL), which you build using transaction GENIL_MODEL_EDITOR.

You must define a Business Add-In (BAdI) for the new object type to integrate the interface /IAM/IF_CATEGORY_INFO with the interfaces of the back-end abstraction layer.

You must create a new BAdI implementation /IAM/BADI_OBJECT_TYPE for the new object type.

The object category for the new object type must subsequently be defined under Define Object Categories.

We deliver various object types, such as Material or Plant.

The delivered object type External Reference Object(GOJ) has the distinctive feature that it does not correspond to any specific object in another system, but is intended for flexible use. Its underlying BOL component IAMGOJ can be used for different flexible reference objects.

You have different options to create new object types:

  • Define an object type from scratch in your own namespace and then enter the BOL component and the BAdI (at a minimum).
  • Copy the existing object type GOJ and adapt the copy as described in SAP Note 1820834.
