Reference Checks While Modifying Business Objects

Modified on Thu, 05 Oct 2023

While modifying business objects, reference and data checks are implemented to prevent disruptions and ensure data quality.

When a reference check is in place for a property, it prevents users from modifying it and displays a warning, indicating that the item is referenced elsewhere in the system.

If a data check is enforced, users are prohibited from altering the data associated with the property. 

BO Properties:

For Business Object properties such as Primary Display Attribute, Change Tracking, Auditing, and Bulk Load, reference checks and data checks are typically not applied.
