The user-defined object is a unique feature. It allows end users to link two user-defined tables quickly and easily to create a new business object in SAP® Business One. The application automatically creates a new window for the object.

An example best illustrates the concept of a user-defined object. Imagine that your business sells its product through a channel of distribution partners. As part of your effort to ensure that the partners represent your product effectively, you provide a sales training and certification program. You want to maintain a list of certified account representatives in SAP Business One. For each person, you want to keep track of training classes attended, exam results, instructor comments, and a scanned copy of the signed attendance record for each class.

This information can be managed very easily in SAP® Business One by adding a user-defined object. First, you set up a user- defined table to store information for each account representative. Next, you create a second user-defined table to store information on the certification classes attended. Finally, you start a simple, wizard-driven process to create a user-defined object to link the two tables to each other. SAP® Business One can create a new window for data entry and it automatically handles insert, update, find, and delete operations. SAP® Business One maintains the linkage between parent records (in the table containing the list of certified account representatives) and child records (in the table containing the list of training classes the representatives have attended). The user can also choose from a range of optional services, including automatic document numbering, history logging, and year-end transfer
