Only Objects that have passed the process will be part of the Enterprise Services Repository. In scope of this Governance Process are Core BOs, Replicated BOs, PCs and DUs. Other Object Types such as Maximal BO Modeling Templates, Adapted Objects, Dependent Objects, Business View Objects are not subjects of the Governance Process for Object Identification. A dedicated Governance Process for these Objects is currently under discussion. Development prepares content, coaching by Gov. team AP Architects Review AP Management Review Gov.

17.  SAP AG 2005, Modeling and PIC Governance / Ralf Herzog / 17 GDT Overview / Goals Business objects and operations are hierarchically structured. Elements of a BO or an operation are uniformly described by data types known as “Global Data Types” (GDT). Global data types are based on a set of basic types, known as core component types (CCT). Core component types were defined by the UN/CEFACT in the ebXML framework and are based on the XML Schema If the same semantic subject appears in (leaf) elements, it is always characterized by the same Global Data Type. GOAL of the GDT PIC-process is to harmonize GDTs SAP-wide
