• Sequence [1..1]
  1. Process [1..1]    The Process verb is used to request processing of the associated noun by the receiving application or business to party. In a typical external exchange scenario a Process BOD is considered to be a legally binding message. For example, if a customer sends a ProcessPurchaseOrder BOD to a supplier and the supplier acknowlegdes with a positive AcknowledgePurchaseOrder, then the customer is obligated to fullfil the agreement, unless of course other BODs are allowed to cancel or change the original order.
  2. BOM [1..*]    When included in a hierarchy, the Components are position dependent for their meaning and applicability to the Bill of Material. The Bill of Material structure is broken down into three classifications or ways to represent the Item. An Item may be included by itself as in the first sub-grouping, or an Item may be represented as part of a set of options or as an option within a class of options. An example of an option would be CD-ROM for a laptop computer. Then each of the types of CD-ROM's for the option would be a separate Item. An example of an option class would be memory for a laptop. The options could then be 128, 256, or 512 megabytes of RAM. Each of these options would then have separate Item identifiers for memory modules that makes up the appropriate amount of memory. For 256 megabytes of RAM, this could be two 128 megabyte memory modules or one 256 megabyte.
