Logical Entities for Business Areas

The business area lists contain a list of subject areas that the business area contains.

Note:

The notion of a business area is not strict. That is, some business areas are overlapping. Thus, a logical entity can belong to, or be needed in several business areas. Some logical entities are not explicitly listed because they either only represent a relationship between tables, are not critically important to any business area, or are simply lookup entities. For more information, see About Business Areas and Subject Areas in Oracle Utilities Data Model.

This section lists the business areas in Oracle Utilities Data Model:
