Business Concepts

Business Concepts are the terms your organisation uses to describe things that are involved in business transactions facilitated by your organisation.

Examples are:

  • Customers;

  • Products;

  • Orders;

  • Payments;

  • Suppliers;

  • Shipments;

  • Employees;

  • Annual Leave Requests.

Business Concepts have :details:`Details` that help describe them or provide context about them. For example:

  • Customers have details such as name, address;

  • Products have details such as name, SKU, price;

  • Orders have details such as order date, quantity, order value.

Business Concepts are involved in Business :event:`Event`s. For example

  • Customers Order Products;

  • Supplier Ships Product;

  • Employee Requests Annual Leave.

Another way of identifying Business Concepts, is looking for the things the Organisation regularly counts. For example:

  • How many Customers do we have?

  • How many Products did we sell?

  • What is the total :details:`amount` of the Orders for this month?

  • What Suppliers have not Shipped on-time this month?

  • Which Employee has taken more than 5 days Annual Leave this month.
