The OBOT table in SAP Business One contains information about the booking types defined in the system. Each entry in the table reflects a specific booking type created by the system.
The OBOT table contains information such as the ID of the booking type, its name, a description of the booking type and whether or not the booking type is important for the system. Further details such as the type of booking (e.g. inventory booking, opening balance booking) and the associated Account group may also be included.
