Examining Business Requirements for the House Detail View

This task is a step in Process of Configuring the House Detail View.

The NREC House Detail view must display the current list of houses for sale and the details for each house, such as square feet and number of bedrooms. The product entity in the Siebel data model meets some of the NREC requirements. However, some information, such as square feet and number of bedrooms, are not part of the Siebel data model.

You can extend the predefined data model to meet unique business requirements. For example, assume NREC decides to add columns to the internal products base table to store the following information for each house:

• Address
• City
• Number of bathrooms
• Number of bedrooms
• Price
• Square feet
• State
• ZIP code

Although List Price exists as a predefined field in the Internal Product business component, assume NREC decides to add a column to the S_PROD_INT table to keep the house attributes stored in one table.

For more information about extending the data model, see Configuring Siebel Business Applications.
