Example of Adding Root Nodes

Example of Adding Root Nodes

You work in Human Resources for a large multinational corporation. You want to add all the employees in your organization. You want to add each employee as a "Person" business entity.
To add the root node for a Person business entity, you perform the following steps:
  1. In the Provisioning tool, select
    Business Entity
    Modeling
    .
  2. Select
    Business Entities
    , and then click
    Create
    .
  3. In the node properties panel, select
    C_PARTY
     in the
    Base Object
     field.
  4. Enter
    Person
     as the name and label for the root node.
  5. Define the model of the business entity in the business entity model pane.
  6. Save your changes.
Because employees in your organization live in different countries, you then decide that you want to create the reference entity "LUCountry." This will be associated with the Country lookup base object in the MDM schema.
To add the root node for a LUCountry reference entity, you perform the following steps:
  1. In the Provisioning tool, select
    Business Entity
    Modeling
    .
  2. Select
    Reference Entities
    , and then click
    Create

  3. In the node properties panel, select
    C_LU_COUNTRY
     in the
    Base Object
     field.
