In SAP Business One data is stored in Objects organised into objects that represent different aspects of business operations. These objects can be divided into two main types: base data and supporting documents.

Master data:
- Master data forms the basis for the creation of documents and contains reusable information.
- Examples: Business partners, articles and the chart of accounts.
- Master data ensures data consistency, reduces errors and simplifies the management of recurring information.
Vouchers:
- Documents record business transactions, e.g. sales orders, delivery notes or invoices.
- They are created on the basis of master data and map the steps of a business process in sequential order.
Other object types in SAP Business One:
- User-defined objects (UDOs):
These enable the creation of specific data and functions that go beyond the standard functionality. - Reports:
Reports are used to analyse and evaluate business data and can be based on master data, documents or other objects.
Tools and functions for managing objects:
- Main menu:
Provides access to windows to search for specific documents or master data. - Report organiser:
Supports the organisation and management of reports. - Data Transfer Workbench (DTW):
Allows the import and updating of large amounts of data. - SAP Business One Service Layer API:
This API provides a standardised interface for accessing data and services, including the management of objects.
