Which Verb to Use

Section Methods for Outgoing BODs lists the events that can be published for BOD-type business objects.

The LN application must not publish Confirm, Acknowledge, or Show BODs.

Regarding the difference between Sync on the one hand and Load, Post, and Update on the other:

• LN must send a Sync for business object instances for which it is the ‘system of record’. In other words, each instance that was created inside the LN instance.
• LN must send a Process, Load, Post or Update if an instance needs to be created outside the current LN instance, or if an instance that is owned outside the current LN instance needs to be changed.

When implementing LN and other applications at a customer site, ownership may differ per business object (class), but also for object instances of the same class. For example: items are always created in company 100 and sales orders are created 200 or 300 where each company uses another range of order numbers.
