SAP Business Workflow (BC-BMT-WFM)

Object type whose definition is considered at runtime instead of the definition of another object type, although this other object type is specified in all definition components (for example task and workflow definition, linkage tables). In all definition tools you can still refer to the original object type, but the system uses the definition of the delegation type for every access.

The delegation type must always be a subtype of the object type it is to replace. The delegation type can have different or additional methods, attributes and events.

A delegation type is always defined for an object type on a system-wide and cross-client basis.
