Definition

A determination is an element of a business object node that describes internal changing business logic on the business object.

Use

A determination can be used to trigger business logic based on internal changes (in contrast to an action)

Dependencies

A determination is called on different points in time (determination time), depending on the model.

A determination is only triggered if trigger nodes are assigned and instances of these trigger nodes are changed.

Example

  • Read attributes from master data (for example, the product master) if the product ID changes.
  • Calculate the header weight if the item weights change.
  • Determine status changes based on the quantity changes (see also state guard).
