Object Relationship Service
The Object Relationship Service can be used to create relations between two objects in a local or remote system. Objects in this scope refer to Business Objects or Class Instances. Objects that are dependent in a business process can be linked by this means to document the dependencies and allow a quick navigation.
Object Relationship relies on an Object Relationship Model that has to be defined first. The model describes which objects can be linked to others and what role they have to have in this relation. Thus, it is made sure that objects are linked only in a reasonable context. You find more information under the following links:

- Interface based on class CL_BINARY_RELATION
- Object Relationship API based on function modules
