Definition “Business Object”

•“A business object is an entity of significance to a business.”

•In Business ByDesign business objects

–Encapsulate business logic and business data

–Act as service consumer and provider

–Are accessible exclusively through a standardized set of

(core) services

–Are described by a business object model which defines:

•Structure

•Type of the attributes

•Aspects of the behavior

•Service interfaces

Business Configuration Objects

Note: In our context business object means the type and

not the instance!

Business object: purchase order

Business object instance: purchase order with ID 32452

Refinement of an Object Model:

Compositions and Associations

–The internal structure of a business object is described by its components (object nodes)

–Nodes are compositions with cardinality are related via a strict hierarchical relationship (no n:m

relationship)

–A separate node

•exposes semantics and business understanding

•represents a logical / semantic group of elements that can be treated as a group even if the elements

could be assigned directly to the higher-level node: SalesOrderItemProduct: (Product, category, batch)

–Elements (attributes) in one node can be mandatory or optional. Elements with cardinality larger than

1 require a separate node.

Business Object Node Operations

Business objects nodes offer services (operations), which can be accessed via

interfaces. Operations and their implementation are generated from the BO definition

Business logic is added in script coding. Script coding may call operations from other

business object nodes

UI Interaction Model/ UI Floor Plans

•The following floor plans are available in ByD:

–Work Center (WC), Control Center (CC):

An area where an employee can perform the typical tasks or functions that they are

responsible for within an enterprise.

The Control Center is a dedicates work center that is the central starting point for

all business activities

–Object Work List (OWL)

–Quick Activity (QA), Fact Sheet (FS), Object Instance (OI)

For viewing and maintaining the key properties of an object and for viewing the the

full set of properties of a business object. The employee can switch back and forth
