BOM definitions (externally managed)
You can use this business object to register BOM definitions including status transitions that are relevant for integration or communication with an external system. Even though the external system owns the BO, it allows you to add certain BOM actions and status transactions in Planon.
Definition
A BOM definition (Business Object Method definition) describes a specific action that can be performed on a Business Object (BO). It defines the purpose of the action and how it should behave when it is executed by the Event Connector or other framework components. In essence, the BOM definition is the blueprint of the BO method, while the actual execution is handled by the BOM action.
