Documentation

Definition

A group category defines the category of a group

Use

The business object processing framework distinguishes between deactivation groups and consistency groups.

Deactivation groups can be used to deactivate some business logic depending on the context in which the transaction runs (for example, transient attributes do not need to be determined in background mode).

Consistency groups can be used to set a consistency status if the validations of this group are executed depending on the result of these validations.

Dependencies

determinations and validations can be assigned to deactivation groups.

validations can only be assigned to consistency groups. In addition, the relevant status variable has to be maintained to set the corresponding consistency status.
