    Hi,
     
    They are distinguished as follows:
    1.entity
    One of the basic units for storing data, we usually put the same type of data into an entity for read, delete, write and create.
     
    2.composite entity
    Use multiple related entities to build a single entity, mostly used for importing and exporting data, asynchronous, can't use X++, much less applicable than normal entities.
     
    3.Aggregate data entity
    Aggregate data entities are read-only data entities used for reporting purposes and can be used to build charts and other controls.
     
    By the way they are built and what they are used for, we can tell them apart quite clearly.
