WSA 请参见： 工作流系统管理 一致性规则 An expression containing one or more business functions on the basis of which one or more business functions must be present in the business model. 业务功能 A model item that defines relevant business issues. A business function is used in business control diagrams to show how the primary process of an organization is controlled. In addition, a business function is the primary part of a business function model, which is a multilevel structure of the functions used in the business control model. A business function model provides a hierarchical breakdown of the business function. You can also use a business function to transform a function model to a process model. 业务功能图 A graphic design that visualizes the multilevel relationships between business functions. 注意 The lowest level of business functions is used to set the value of static conditions. The level above the lowest level is used to link business processes to business functions. 业务功能模型 A part of a business model that is built from a selection of business functions that are initially created in the repository. 业务控制图 A graphic design that visualizes the primary process that takes place within an organization and shows the business functions that are used to control that process. 业务控制模型 A part of a reference model or project model that is built from a selection of business control diagrams that are initially created in the repository (library of model items). 业务模型 A model that represents the organization. There are two types of business models: Reference models apply to specific industries or business typologies.

The enterprise-structure models define the relationships between the enterprise units, and the goods transfer that can take place between the enterprise units. To use invoicing and pricing between enterprise units, you must link the enterprise units to internal business partners. You can use enterprise units to perform separate financial accounting for parts of your business. For example, you can define enterprise units for separate parts of your organization that belong to one logistic company but which are located in different countries. The accounting of each enterprise unit is performed in each country's national currency and in the financial company linked to the enterprise unit. 企业单元关系 A description of the relation between two enterprise units. 企业单元类别 Identifies the kind of flow between two enterprise units.

Instead of creating new data for a software product, you extract information from an existing database. The data structure information is generated and can be used to design anew interface or to describe the current software. You can either select entity types that were not used before in the entity relationship diagram, or generate a new set of entity types for which entity relationships or entity relationship diagrams already exist. 变量 Additional information that is delivered to a component, as a result of which predefined actions are carried out. 可选关系 A relationship between two entity types that is not mandatory.
