Ordering BOM Entries

PREVIOUS NEXT

The Business Object Model (BOM) defines a path to a set of BOM entries. These BOM entries can be in the current rule project or in a referenced rule project.

If you have several BOM entries, an element in the first BOM entry in the path overrides any other element with the same name in the other BOM entries. You can modify the order of the BOM entries in the path to control this.

To order BOM entries:

  1. In the Rule Explorer view, select the rule project, and, on the Project menu, click Properties.
  2. In the left pane of the Rule Project Properties dialog, click Business Object Model. The list of BOM entries in the business object model appears.
  3. Click the Order tab. In the Order page, select a BOM entry and use the Up and Down buttons to change the order.
  4. Click OK.
    5. The BOM entries in the path of the Business Object Model are now ordered.
