MODIFICATIONS : Change to the standard functionality by changing the SAP object
itself using the 'ACCESS KEY ' from SAP .These objects needs to be observed during
version upgrades as the upgrade patches might overwrite the code written by you .
Except for certain incode user exits provided by SAP like MV45AFZZ .

ENHANCEMENTS : Change to the standard functionality by using the exits / badis
provided by SAP. These objects do not need any access key from SAP. These changes
will not get over written during SAP version upgrades.

Objects
Objects are instances of classes. They contain data and provides services. The data
forms the attributes of the object. The services are known as methods (also known as
operations or functions). Typically, methods operate on private data (the attributes, or
state of the object), which is only visible to the methods of the object. Thus the attributes
of an object cannot be changed directly by the user, but only by the methods of the
object. This guarantees the internal consistency of the object.
Classes
Classes describe objects. From a technical point of view, objects are runtime instances
of a class. In theory, you can create any number of objects based on a single class.
Each instance (object) of a class has a unique identity and its own set of values for its
attributes.
