Abstract: A business object model, which reflects data that is used during a given business transaction, is utilized to generate interfaces. This business object model facilitates commercial transactions by providing consistent interfaces that are suitable for use across industries, across businesses, and across different departments within a business during a business transaction. In some operations, software creates, updates, or otherwise processes information related to a goods tag, a production bill of material hierarchy, and/or a release order template business object.

Abstract: “XSteps” are modular data objects that model performance of various operations in a manufacturing process. Designers of manufacturing processes can build complex manufacturing systems from the modular XSteps and may enter parameter information that defines inputs to the corresponding XSteps. An XStep may include a parameter array defining different variables that determine behavior of the manufacturing operation represented by the XStep, a process instruction attribute that includes instructions to be delivered to automatic- or manually-driven manufacturing processes when the manufacturing operations are performed and an actuals attribute to capture manufacturing data as the manufacturing operations are performed. Thus, the present invention provides an integrated view into automatic, semi-automatic and manually-driven manufacturing processes.

Abstract: The invention relates to a folding CD package with a section (12) holding the CD, a cover section (10) hinged thereon and a pouch section (14) into which the section holding the CD can be inserted. According to the invention, the cover section (10) is attached to the pouch section (14) via an edge acting as a pivot (22) and the pivot (22) is released in relation to a hinged connection (20) between the cover section (10) and the section (12) holding the CD so that the section holding the CD is partly pulled out from the pouch section (14) when the package is opened by the resultant relative movement of the pivot and hinge for ease of removal.
