Tutorial: VLF001 - Defining Your HR Application |
An application provides a grouping for Business Objects. There can be several applications in the Framework.
In a commercial environment applications could be, for example, Human Resources, Manufacturing and Payroll.
Note: Do not take the word Application too literally. Applications mean different things to different people. In Framework terms an Application just means a logical grouping of business functions. For example, you may have a single "application" called ERP that actually contains seven sub-applications called Stock, Ordering, Pricing, Customers, Suppliers, Invoicing and System Table Maintenance. If you define a single Framework application called ERP it may become crowded. In Framework terms these seven sub-applications are probably best defined as individual Framework Applications.
