Set Up Business Configuration Values

Use this topic to set up business configuration values for the catalog entity.

You can configure business setups that are common across design time and runtime systems to ensure the eco system setups are defined once and published into target systems. This helps frictionless and agile customer on boarding, and enables to centrally introduce and manage your common business setups rather than doing it in each and every runtime system. Also, this capability reduces configuration efforts, aids in agility, and brings in consistency across the enterprise.

The predefined configuration items are documented below. All the configurations can be updated and extended by customers.

See How do I manage Geography Structures, Hierarchies, and Validation?.
