SAP MDG: UI Modelling - Part 03


Business Partner, Customer & Supplier.

UIs for business partner governance leverage the BOL and GenIL frameworks for data abstraction. The GenIL objects are automatically generated on activation of the data model, and enhancing the generated GenIL objects is forbidden.

This abstraction layer provides greater flexibility to link the UI/presentation layer to the business data layer via APIs. The feeder classes for the UIBBs implement the BOL interfaces for data transfers associated with the GenIL root object/data model entity.


BOL/GenIL Layer Integration Architecture

A high-level architecture of BOL and GenIL integration is depicted in Fig.

The GenIL objects for the business partner data model can be accessed through Transaction GENIL_MODEL_BROWSER for component BUPA and enhancement BUPA_CUSP. These address the needs for the customer and supplier master data governance along with the business partner master data.

The UI applications related to the BP data model are grouped into four roles based on the partner types:

  • business partner governance

  • customer governance

  • supplier governance

  • contract account governance.

These roles provide the respective starting pages for accessing the applications.
