| # Master Data The Master Data is mainly used to set up a working environment. You can create and maintain the enterprise modeler building blocks, such as business processes, employee groups, and business control diagrams. In the Master Data you can define versions, components, and parameters. Versions Throughout DEM, both modeling and run time processes take place in versions. By using versions, business models and model items can be made uniquely identifiable. Before you can start modeling, you must first define versions and version authorizations in the master data. Categories You can create categories for model items which are of the same type. Therefore, model items can be labeled and grouped together. Components A component release is, for example, ERP BaanIVc. You can model this component release as component ERP and component release IVc. All ERP sessions are inserted in this component as applications. Statuses A status can be linked to a model item; it identifies a stage in the development of that model item and is used to: Monitor the development progress of a model item Authorize users for the combination of a model item and a status Business process master data While the business functions in the control model only relate to what takes place in an organization, the business processes visualize how the functions must be carried out. The processes also present the relevant ERP Enterprise sessions to the users, and the order in which these ERP Enterprise sessions must be used. |
