Manage Master Data Object

This interface pattern is used for master data object type business objects (BOs). To change or read data, you do not normally access the master data objects with a large operation. SAP recommends that you group the data into meaningful categories and model an operation for each group (this is shown as either <part A> or <part B> in the interface pattern).

The Change <BO> <part> operation overwrites the data of a BO without checking whether any changes have been made to the data since the last read-only access. The Update <BO> <part> operation checks this.
