| # Model Definition In the Master Data, you set up a framework in which business models can be created and maintained. However, to build a business model you must create various model items that comprise a project model or reference model. Repository Except for support applications, you can link text to all model items to provide them with more information. This text can be created in the repository and in the business model. These building blocks create a business model: Business Control Diagram A graphic design that illustrates the primary process that is performed within an organization and the business functions that are used to control that process. Business Process Support Application Role Enterprise structure models The enterprise structure model shows the multi-site structure of an organization. The multi-site concept consists of enterprise units that contain entities that belong to the same financial and logistic company. An enterprise unit’s entities must belong to the same logistic company, but a logistic company can be linked to multiple enterprise units. Because enterprise units can be located worldwide and use their own currency, a logical company can include multiple countries. Business Models Business model is a generic term for a reference and a project model. Both models are built from a collection of model items created in the repository. A reference model represents a line of business or business typology. A project model represents a customer specific model. Data models A data model is a diagram that illustrates the permanent storage components and their structures on multiple abstraction levels. |
