About Business Services for Order Management

Generally, a business service:

• Defines reusable business logic that can be executed within the Object Manager
• Can be a built-in service that is defined in Siebel Tools or a run-time service that is defined in the Siebel client application by administrators
• Can be based on the CSSService Class (standard business service) or on specialized classes (specialized business service)

  NOTE:  Specialized business services are used only by internal Siebel Engineering personnel. Customers should not use specialized business services unless their behavior is specifically documented.

• Can be configured by properties or scripts (written in Siebel VB or Siebel eScript)
• Can be used for generic code libraries that are called from other scripts
• Are used as building blocks in the Siebel Application Integration framework
• Can be referred to by commands associated with a menu item or toolbar button
