Master Data

The Master Data is mainly used to set up a working environment.

You can create and maintain the enterprise modeler building blocks, such as business processes, employee groups, and business control diagrams. In the Master Data you can define versions, components, and parameters.

• Versions

  Throughout DEM, both modeling and run time processes take place in versions. By using versions, business models and other model items can be made uniquely identifiable. Before you can start modeling, you must first define versions and version authorizations in the master data.

• Categories

  You can create categories for model items which are of the same type. Therefore, model items can be labeled and grouped together.

• Components

  You can use LN applications and other (Infor) software applications, for example, Infor AutoConnect or Microsoft Excel, to model the business processes. In the Enterprise Modeler, these applications are setup as components

• Statuses

  A status can be linked to a model item. The status identifies the current stage in the development of a model item and is used to:

  • Monitor the development progress of a model item
  • Authorize users for the combination of a model item and a status

• Business process master data

  While the business functions in the control model only relate to what takes place in an organization, the business processes visualize how the functions must be performed. The processes also present the relevant LN sessions to the users, and the order in which these LN sessions must be used. With the Business process master data you can use AO documents in the business processes and work with Responsibility codes.
