1.1.5 Custom items

In addition to the standard items provided by CPA, you can create components that are necessary for the execution of business operations.

Such components are referred to as custom items. The created custom items can be combined with CPA action flows or job definitions to execute business operations.

Through componentization, which makes individual processes comprising a certain business operation available to other business operations as well and allows for the use of variable parameters as the essential parts of each process, you can operate your system in a highly efficient and maintainable manner. You can also operate the processes by flexibly defining action flows and schedules to suit your business operation. For example, different subsequent actions can be taken depending on the results of actions, or jobs can be executed at any intervals or on particular days of the week or dates.

To set up an environment for creating custom items, see 2.3.6 Creating a custom item. To design custom items, see 5. Business Operations Planning with CPA.
