PurchaseAP Data Model

The main table of the PurchaseAP Entity is the bPurchaseAP table - every bPurchaseAP record is related to one and only one bBusinessDocument record.

This is done with a one to one relation between the bBusinessDocument record and a bPurchaseAP record - here the PK is the bBusinessDocument.sBusinessDocumentPK field and the FK is the bPurchaseAP.sBusinessDocumentFK field.

To implement this type of relation in the Analysis:

• we have used a [0,n]->[1,1] link between the bBusinessDocument table and the bPurchaseAP table, and
• we assign the bPurchaseAP.sBusinessDocumentFK as a PK of the bPurchasePayment table - making it unique (see the image bellow).

This data model is built from the Universal Business Document Model

The bBusinessObject table

Every bBusinessDocument record has a [1,1]->[0,n] relation to a bBusinessObject record.

At the end, this record - the bBusinessObject record - gives the bPurchaseAP record all its functionality (numbering, defaults, print forms) including its specific Business Object Role.

The bPurchaseAP table currently supports the following Business Objects Roles:

• PurchaseAP Payments, General PurchaseAP Credits and General PurchaseAP Debits

The bBusinessDocument_CashLine

The alpha360 supports one Payment distributed to many different CashBooks (or Cash Accounts) - the bBusinessDocument_CheckLine stores these "different payments" - note here that each record is related to the bBusinessDocument record.

The bBusinessDocument_CheckLine

The alpha360 supports one check Payment distributed to many different Checks - the bBusinessDocument_CheckLine stores these "different check payments" - note here that each record is related to the bBusinessDocument record.
