You can use the Object Workbench not only to find and display, but also to create, enhance, and change technical objects and business partners.
The Object Workbench functions are based on the object model for the connection object, premise, and point of delivery. The data is displayed in a Business Object Tree (BOT). For more information about BOT, see the documentation in Customizing for Customer Relationship Management
under .
As the workbench is a complex application, it requires extensive Customizing. For more information, see the documentation in Customizing for Customer Relationship Management
under .
You access the workbench via the identification – a combined search for the business partner and the technical data.
You can initialize all search criteria by choosing the Reset
button. If a search is successful, you can select the relevant object and choose the Other Fields
button to branch to the workbench. Here, you can change and enhance technical objects as the workbench displays an entire IBase construct, which enables you to process objects.
If you want to create new objects, you have to select a template and choose the New
button to access the workbench. If you want the system to use the address search criteria as data, choose the New with Address
button.
The workbench is split into a tree structure on the left of the screen and a detail view area on the right. In the tree structure, you select the object that you want to process. You can use the pushbuttons in the detail view area to display the entire Ibase construct.
The Copy Business Partner Address
pushbutton enables the system to use the business partner address of a confirmed business partner as the address of a new connection object if the workbench was started to create an object using a template. The following functions are available in the application toolbar below the tree structure:
