Creating an Empty BOM Entry

 PREVIOUS NEXT

You can create business elements without necessarily considering the way that the execution elements are going to be implemented. In this case you can create an empty BOM entry that you later map to the Execution Object Model (XOM). You can later extend the BOM without modifying the original XOM.

To create an empty BOM entry:

  1. In the Rule Explorer view, select the bom folder and, on the File menu, click New > BOM Entry. The New BOM Entry wizard opens.
  2. Type a name for the BOM entry in the Name field, and select the option Create an empty BOM entry.
  3. Click Finish.
    4. A new BOM entry appears under the bom folder in the Rule Explorer view.

You can now add business elements into this BOM entry and later map them to an Execution Object Model (XOM).
