Defining the vocabulary for a BOM entry

About this task

The vocabulary is the set of terms and phrases defined in all the BOM entries of a business object model. If an element is not verbalized, it is not available in business rules. You can define a vocabulary for a complete BOM entry by using the Verbalize BOM wizard.

To define the vocabulary for a BOM entry:

1. In the Rule Explorer view, double-click the BOM entry in the bom folder.
2. In the BOM Editor Package page, in the Tasks section, click Verbalize the elements of this BOM entry.
3. In the Verbalize BOM wizard, choose whether you want to verbalize only the Getters part of methods and attributes, only the Setters part, all methods, or only static references. Select or clear the relevant check boxes to include or remove vocabulary elements from the vocabulary.
4. Click Finish.

Results

The BOM entry is now verbalized. You can edit the default verbalization in the BOM Editor to align the terms and phrases with your business model.

Attention:

If you change the default verbalization for terms, phrases, or constants, avoid using parentheses ( ). These characters are considered as delimiters and can cause false difference, overlap, or gap warnings in decision tables.
