Creating a Business Entity Root Node

To create a business entity model, the first step is to create the root node for the business entity. In this example, you want to create a

Person

business entity associated with the base object C_PARTY in the MDM schema.

On the modeling page of the Provisioning tool, select

Business Entities

Click

Create

A new root node appears among the business entities.

In the

Name

field, enter a name for the business entity.

For example, enter

Person

Avoid the use of spaces in business entity names.

In the

Label

field, enter a display name for the business entity.

For example, enter

Person

Optionally, enter a description of the business entity.

Optionally, enable the

State management enabled

check box.

When this check box is enabled, the Repository Manager validation checks that all base objects in the business entity are enabled for state management, except referenced lookups.

In the node properties panel, go to the

Base object

field and select a base object from the MDM schema to associate with the business entity.

For example, select the base object C_PARTY.

The base objects are created in the MDM Hub before you add root nodes to the business entity.

Click

Apply

The changes are saved but are not published to the MDM Hub.

The following image shows an example of a Person business entity: A screenshot showing a node called "Person". The properties of the root node display in the node properties panel.
