Define Merge Actions for Business Object Process and Procedure Help Properties

Use the Process and Procedure Help page in the Business Object Properties window to define whether or not to overwrite process and procedure help properties for a Business Object.

Good to know:

• You can only configure separate merge actions for individual Business Object properties and areas if the Business Object is set to Merge in the Business Object Properties window (mApp Solutions page). If the Business Object is set to any other option, or if the Include in mApp Solution check box is cleared, then you cannot configure separate merge actions for individual properties or areas.
• If you do not see the Process and Procedure Help page, close the mApp Solution (after saving) and go to Settings>Edit System Settings. Click the Help page, and then select Show Process and Terminology Help. For more information about enabling process and procedure help, refer to Configure Global Help Settings.
• For more information about defining process and procedure help properties for a Business Object, refer to Define Process and Procedure Help Properties for a Business Object.
