This procedure allows you to add a custom service to a flow blueprint. When you model a data object, predefined flow blueprints are assigned to the data object based on the data object category you specify. These flow blueprints contain standard services that are executed in a particular sequence to process the data object. However, based on your requirements, you can add additional services to a flow blueprint in the form of custom services.
