Business Module Manager

A business module is a functional configuration which handles use cases based on common practices observed in the industry. The Business Module Manager allows an administrator to install a pre-configured data model for a business purpose, such as the 'sell side' of the product enrichment process, or the 'buy side' for the vendor data onboarding process. Business module installation can include the creation of product objects types, classification objects, lists of values types, etc.

The 'Business Module Manager' option displays on the File menu for all users. The install functionality is available for users who are assigned the 'Install Business Modules' setup action privilege. For more information, refer to the Setup Actions and Error Descriptions topic here.

When a business module is activated by Stibo Systems, it displays in the Business Module Manager dialog. The dialog includes:

  • Select - checkbox to indicate a module should be installed.
  • Business Module - names of the activated modules. Hovering over the business module name displays a tooltip with a description of the module.
  • Installed Version - the version of the module currently on your system.
  • Latest Available Version - the current available activated version.
  • Configuration - when additional parameters required to install the module, the 'Configure' button is enabled.
