Business object structure element Description
Business graph A layer that contains two elements: a verb and a business object. The business graph can refer to a single cardinality business object or a wrapper representing a group of business objects, each with single cardinality.
Verb BAPI business objects support three verbs: Create, Delete, and UpdateWithDelete. Verbs are at the top level (business object wrapper), not down at the business object level itself.
Business object The business object itself. It has its own structure, which depends on whether it represents a simple BAPI or a BAPI transaction.

The business graph has the following structure. Note that a business graph has one verb and is for either a simple BAPI or a BAPI transaction (with multiple simple BAPI business object participants).
