Segmentation Based on Objects: Example

The segments A and B contain the following business partners:

Segment A

Business Partner	Partner Function	Object
BP1	Is owner of	Model A
BP2	Is owner of	Model A
BP3	Is buyer of	Model A

Segment B

Business Partner	Partner Function	Object
BP1	Is owner of	Model A
BP2	Is buyer of	Model A
BP3	Is buyer of	Model B

If you intersect both segments with variant (1) Intersect Partners, Then Merge Objects and Partner Functions, you have the following result:

Business Partner

Partner Function

Object

BP1

Is owner of

Model A

BP2

Is buyer of

Is owner of

Model A

BP3

Model A

Model B

When counting, the system only considers the number of different business partners, in this case 3, even though the number of different combinations of business partner-partner function-object is 5 in total.

If you intersect both segments with variant (2) Intersect Partner, Object, and Partner Function, you have the following result:

Business Partner	Partner Function	Object
BP1	Is owner of	Model A
