Bill of Material. A BOM is a parts lists with specifications. It is a reference that displays part name, code, specification and cost. This information is used for system designs, purchasing and inventory control. A typical BOM contains the following: Part Code Quantity Description Dimensions Type Cost Total Cost
BOV
Business Operational View (concept from ISO 14662 Open-EDI Reference Model). The first section of every PIP specification, the BOV describes the business-related aspects of the PIP. This is information captured from business analysts during development of the PIP. The BOV is the PIP Blueprint as approved by the RosettaNet members.
BTO
Build to Order.
Business Action
a message with content of a business nature such as a Purchase Order Request or a Request For Quote. The exchange of business actions and business signals comprise the message choreography necessary to complete a business activity specified by a given PIP.
Business Activity
a PIP encapsulates one or more discrete business activities as specified by the business analysts during development of the PIP blueprint. For example, PIP 3A4 (Manage Purchase Order) specifies three (3) separate business activities: Create Purchase Order, Change Purchase Order, and Cancel Purchase Order. The exchange of business actions and business signals comprise the message choreography necessary to complete a business activity specified by a given PIP.
Business Data Entity (BDE)
Used to define a Business Document; represent structured business information and are made up of other BDEs and Fundamental BDEs, i.e., a Physical Address made up of address lines and a postal code.
Business Data Property
The type of business data entity association.
Business Dictionary
The document that contains definitions for the Business Properties.
Business Document
Container for structured business information that is made up of Business Data Entities, Fundamental Business Data Entities and Business Properties. A Business Document defines the information transferred from Activity to Activity. Business Documents are developed by partners using RosettaNet Message Guidelines.
Business Message
see RosettaNet Business Message.
Business Process
A set of Activities that represent all the alternative methods of performing the work needed to achieve a business objective.
Business Property
Association between BDEs; generally do not have Role Names.
Business Signal
a message exchanged between two RosettaNet network applications to communicate certain events within the execution of a PIP instance. Examples of signals include “receipt and successful validation of a message†(Receipt Acknowledgement) and “receipt of a message out of sequence†(General Exception). A signal is used to communicate an exception condition within the normal message choreography of a PIP. See also Process Control PIP.
Glossary - Modular
Definitions for RosettaNet Modular PIPs (XML Schema)
Datatypes that are defined either in the XML Schema specification (as primitive types) or in this specification, and can be either primitive or derived.
Business Process Specification Schema (BPSS)
The ebXML BPSS specification is used to describe PIP Choreography. PIPs will be generated using the “Binary Collaboration” element in BPSS v1.01 with modifications.
