The Entity is used to model a business object in IFS Applications. One business object is represented by one or more entities. Entities are used to encapsulate different properties and code that belongs to just one entity. Entities are represented by tables, views and packages in the code. Note: In previous versions of IFS Applications a Logical Unit (LU) was used instead of an entity. The LU is still described in some IFS documentation. Please remember that a LU is exactly the same as an entity. Entities can be layered, meaning that they can be extended. When you create an entity you will need to consider what attributes should be included, what associations the entity has to other entities, and if the entity should be a state machine or not; one should also consider if the entity is a generalization or not and what code generation properties needs to be set in order to change the generated code. Please read more about these concepts in the following sections: Simple entities are easy
