Business objects

Business objects are logically equivalent to messages. Each contains a transaction type (for example, Create or Update) and associated data, and is communicated across various interfaces to multiple processing entities in a solution (that is, collaboration objects or managed workflow). Multiple business objects are used to transform data from one format to another and to trigger processing events as the business processes progress. The Product Information Management for Retailers solution includes the following business objects which hold item data and attributes:
