Base Business Objects

For each maintenance object (MO) that supports an “identifying” business object, the type of business object provided by the product depends on the functionality and expected use by implementations. The following are some common patterns.

Note: Not all maintenance objects in the product support business objects as a “identifying” or “governing” tool. This is the standard going forward for new maintenance objects. However, there are some maintenance objects created before this became a standard.

For all maintenance objects, the base product may provide additional BOs that are not meant to be “identifying” BOs, but instead are provided to support functionality to interact with the MO using the BO as a tool as described in Invoking a BO.
