Guidelines for Reusing a Predefined Business Object

It is recommended that you avoid copying a business object or business component, but copying might be appropriate in the following situations:

• When you must include a business component twice in a business object. For example, the Account business object must include the Account business component and Sub Account business component.
• When two business components contain different search specifications and predefault values for the Type field that differentiates the records of these two business components. For more information, see Options to Filter Data That Siebel CRM Displays in an Applet.
