Call SAP Business Object Methods in your report Program using Macros

This blog is to explain how better we can reuse already coded business object methods. We navigate to Business Object explorer (Transaction Code SWO1) to explore all available business objects both standard and custom , Module wise , we see there are a lot of potential methods and attributes encapsulated based on business cases that can be reused.

Let us execute a business object method through SWO1 and later write  a program to call the method.

Execute a Business Object

Step-1 Go to transaction SWO1 and search a business Object

Step-2 Let  us  instantiate the BO (BUS0019) by passing key fields

   Click on OK the BO will get instantiated with its attributes value getting populated according to the key fields.

Step-3 Execute the edit method , for the edit dialog to be open and allowing user to update  values.
