4. Business object technology and business object programming are based on the concept of "business objects". Real world objects, for example an employee or a sales order, are modeled as business objects in business application systems, such as the R/3 System. We can visualize the SAP Business Objects as "black boxes" that encapsulate R/3 data and business processes, thus hiding the details of the structure and implementation of the underlying data. STRUCTURE To achieve this encapsulation, the SAP Business Objects are constructed as entities with multiple layers: Core layer: Kernel S econd layer: Integrity layer T hird layer: Interface layer F ourth and outermost layer: Business Object is the access layer BO in SAP
