(Glue 2402) Create new Business Object

Creation of a new BO is currently possible through the Business Objects cockpit. You can navigate to the Business Objects cockpit from the main SNP Glue™ Cockpit.

Pressing the "Business Objects" button leads to a new screen, which displays the tree with all Business Objects. Root nodes represent the Business Process in ERP. Child nodes (the one with the folder icon) represent the data category and the leaves at the bottom level represent Business Object. Most of the Business Objects include the documentation, which can be viewed by double-clicking on the specific Business Object and selecting the Documentation tab.

On the top of the screen, there is a button called "Custom BO", which leads to the creation of Custom Business Object. Details of each Business Object can be checked by double-clicking the Business Object within the tree. You can check the tables included in the particular Business Object and also Documentation linked to the Business Object. You have also the possibility to generate technical objects defined by Business Object by clicking on the Generate button or Create Business Object based on existing Business Object by editing the selected Business Object. Then you need to save the changes under a separate object.

Choosing the Business Object in the context menu, allows you to create a copy of BO via a menu, generate technical objects defined by BO, and in case of custom BO also delete custom BO.

Selecting the first option opens a pop-up with Business Object creation. There you need to define the name of BO and its description. The name of the BO cannot start with a numeric character as these are reserved for SNP Glue™ prototypes.

After confirmation, a new Business Object will be created in the selected category. This business object will contain all tables from the parent BO.
Similarly, it is possible to create a new BO by adjusting the content of the existing template. In this case, you need to open an existing BO and go to edit mode. Then you can add new tables into the BO definition.

When saving the changes, the pop-up from the previous section will show requesting a new BO name and description. After confirmation, a new Business Object will be created in the selected category. This BO will contain all tables you defined through the original BO template.
