BOD or BDE extension point

A BOD or BDE extension is used to publish additional fields with a BOD or BDE. You can also process additional fields that are part of an inbound BOD or BDE.

For example:

  • To include all CDFs of the Purchase Order in the PurchaseOrderBOD.
  • To include some standard Business Partner fields in the PurchaseOrderBOD.
  • To update an own table with fields in an incoming BDE.

Those fields are added to or processed from the UserArea in the BOD or BDE. A BOD or BDE can have UserAreas on different levels. Each component, which is a part in the hierarchical structure of the BOD or BDE, can have a UserArea. These are examples of components:

  • PurchaseOrderBOD

  • PurchaseOrderBOD.PurchaseOrderLine

  • PurchaseOrderBOD.PurchaseOrderLine.PurchaseOrderSchedule

  • PurchaseOrderBOD.PurchaseOrderLine.PurchaseOrderSchedule.ReceivedQuantityDistribution

For the BOD or BDE extension point you have two extension types:

  • BOD or BDE
  • Component Extension
