An object operation is an operation that applies to a particular business object. For example, a transaction object may have such operations as approve transaction, reject transaction, etc. Object operations can be configured as processes taking as their input the business object of interest. Object operations appear in the caption bar of the object form making it easier for the users to start an operation while looking at the object details. Also, object operations can be configured as hyperlink elements on a presentation designed for the object, so the users can start an operation by clicking on the hyperlink.
