A Business Object Defines Options
A business object may be associated with configuration options that control specific features. For example, the scripts used to maintain and display a business object are defined as options. Refer to the detailed description of each option type for more information on the functionality it controls.
Note:
You can add new options types. Your implementation may want to
add additional option types. For example, your implementation may have plug-in driven logic that
would benefit from a new option. To do that, add your new values to the customizable lookup field
BUS_OBJ_OPT_FLG. If you add a new option type for
a business option, you must update its maintenance object to declare this new option type.
Otherwise, it won't appear on the option type dropdown. You do that by referencing the new option
type as a Valid BO Option Type
maintenance object option.
Some options may be defined for a specific lifecycle status. For example, marking a status specific base algorithm as inactive is defined as an option on that staus definition record.
