Dummy Origin

Dummy Origin

The Dummy Origin provides a virtual, non-persistent origin that can be used during creation to save temporary information. This information can later be used as a condition for different Results.

To use the Dummy Origin:

  • Navigate to the Basic Field Configuration table.
  • Define a field with the DUMMY origin. This field will not be stored in a database but can be referenced dynamically within the Creation Wizard.
  • The Dummy Origin can be used to reload relevant data and dynamically display different sections or field groups based on its values.
  • Additionally, a data element can be assigned to Dummy fields via the ORIGIN_FIELD_NAME column. This allows users to apply conversions or search helps (e.g., business partner IDs) to the field.

This feature enhances flexibility by enabling dynamic field behavior without the need for persistent database storage.

  • Then add your new field (CREATION_DUMMY_BUPA in the example above) as a condition column to the table, customizing creation steps (e.g., Creation Form Steps). For this, you should add your new field to Structure: Custom Input according to Custom Input: Adding Custom Condition Columns to a BRF+ Decision Table.
  • Customize Result Columns according to your logic. As the example below shows, different Business Partner choices lead to different next steps.
