Documentation

Definition

An action is an element of a business object node that describes an operation performed on that node.

Use

An action can be used to allow the external triggering of business logic (in contrast to a determination)

When the action is performed, you must specify the key for the instances on which it is to be performed (if it is not a static action) and any input parameters that the action requires.

Dependencies

An action can only be performed with the number of instances that is configured in thecardinality of the action.

The action is performed for all instances if an error in the action validation has not occurred. If errors occur, then the behavior depends on the action settings.

Example

The following are examples of an action:

• Release Order
• Post Goods Movement
• Copy Sheet
