SAP Business One Object Type

Modified on Tue, 17 Jun at 7:22 PM

What is `ObjectType`?

In SAP Business One, every business object—such as a Sales Order, Business Partner, or Inventory Transfer—has a unique ObjectType, represented as a string (not integer), even if it looks like a number (e.g., '17' for Sales Order).

It is essentially an internal ID used to:

Distinguish between different types of documents or records
Trigger validations in stored procedures (like SBO_SP_TransactionNotification)
Retrieve metadata (e.g., table structure or permissions)
Work with the DI API or Service Layer to create, update, or delete objects

Common Use Cases for `ObjectType`

Use Case	How `ObjectType` Is Used
Stored Procedures	`ObjectType` determines which logic to apply. For example, only run a validation if `@object_type = '13'` (A/R Invoice).
DI API / Service Layer	You pass the `ObjectType` to instantiate the correct business object (e.g., `oBusinessPartners`, `oOrders`).
Formatted Searches	Used in user-defined values to control behavior based on the current document type.
Approval Procedures	Tied to specific document types using ObjectType.
Queries & Reports	Filters or joins may rely on ObjectType to distinguish types of transactions, especially when working with `OACT` (chart of accounts), `OJDT` (journal entries), or user tables.

Example: Transaction Notification Procedure

IF @object_type = '17' AND @transaction_type = 'A' -- Sales Order Add
BEGIN IF EXISTS ( SELECT 1 FROM ORDR WHERE DocEntry = @list_of_cols_val_tab_del AND DocTotal > 100000 ) BEGIN SET @error = 1 SET @error_message = 'Sales Orders over 100,000 require management approval.' END
END

Note: Object types for UDFs, UDOs, and service documents may be more complex or require metadata lookup.

Where to Find the ObjectType List

You can find the full list of object types:

In SAP B1 SDK: Under the SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes enumeration
In the SBO_SP_TransactionNotification template

Best Practices

Always treat ObjectType as a string, even if it looks numeric.
When writing queries or procedures, comment the document name next to the ObjectType to improve readability.
Be aware that some modules (like Service Layer or Approval Templates) may use the object name or table name instead.

Advanced Notes

ObjectType is especially helpful in multi-document procedures, like transaction notifications, where logic varies depending on the object.
In SAP HANA, you’ll still use ObjectType in string format, and it behaves similarly to MS SQL in this regard.
System Objects vs. User Defined Objects (UDO): UDOs also have their own ObjectType, which can be found in OUSR, OUSG, or OUSR linked tables depending on the configuration.
