Fragmented data

Data for a single business object can be stored in multiple applications. But it is strongly advised that at any point in time one application is the owner of a specific piece of information.

If parts of the business object are owned by multiple applications, an enrichment or pipeline pattern can be used. For example, an ItemMaster business object is partly owned by a Product application and partly by a Pricing application. It is assumed that a third application exists called Projects. This application requests items to be created (using Process BODs) and must receive messages if an item is changed (using Sync BODs). See this diagram for the flows you can use:
