Abstract: Among other disclosed subject matter, a computer-implemented method of managing customizing settings in a business structured interface is to be initiated. The method includes presenting a plurality of business process types to a user. Each of the business process types includes a plurality of business document types. First user input selecting a set of business process types is received. The first user input triggers for each selected business process type activation of features in an application program. In response to the first selection, the plurality of business document types associated with the selected business process type are presented. Second user input selecting a set of business document types is received. The second user input triggers activation of features in the application program. The application program is launched, wherein the features are activated and available during the operation of the application program.

Abstract: Which one of a plurality of customization levels of a customizable operation of a software application is to be provided to a customizing user of the customizable operation may be determined, wherein each of the plurality of customization levels represents a different level of customization abstraction for customizing the customizable operation at an associated level of complexity. A maintenance view including a visual representation of the customizable operation may be provided, the visual representation corresponding to the determined customization level. A customization to the customizable operation may be received and applied to the customization to the customizable operation to cause the software application to implement the customization during an execution thereof.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for configuring a customized extension for an electronic product transaction database object class includes receiving user-initiated input that selects a set type predefined for at least one electronic product database object class that defines a product type for which instances of the electronic product database object class may be created. The method also includes associating the selected set type with a selected electronic product transaction database object class used in a computer-executed product transaction process and for which instances of the electronic product transaction database object may be created. The selected set type is to serve as a customized extension for the selected electronic product transaction database object class when a product that is defined by a product database object class that uses the selected set type is identified in the computer-executed product transaction process.

Abstract: Electronic sales promotion information is created that includes multiple sales promotion items that may apply to the same product sales transaction, and electronic sales orders are processed using the created electronic sales promotion information. A method of creating sales promotion information includes receiving user-initiated input to generate a sales promotion marketing item and associate the generated marketing item with sales of a selected product. If one or more sales promotion marketing items have been previously associated with sales of the selected product, a user is provided a display of the previously associated marketing items to guide user design of conditions among the newly associated marketing item and the one or more previously associated marketing items. User-designed condition information is received and electronically stored for use in a subsequent computer-executed process.
