Naming Conventions

BackOffice follows a very strict naming convention that provides a methodology for creating names that each member of the team can understand.

Every table has two names: informal and formal. Use the informal table name, such as MARC or MARA when naming objects.  Use the formal table name, such as ttMARC or ttMARA, when naming a Target rule.

Use the naming convention:

tr[InformalTableName]_[FieldName]_Sel, displayed as: trMARA_MAKTXUpdSel.

The formal table name for this table is ttMAKT. Note that the informal table naming convention in this example does not produce trttMAKT_MAKTXUpdSel, rather it should produce the following name trMAKT_MAKTXUpdSel. This informal table name rule is also used when naming Source rules, Source/Target reports and Target exports.

Refer to the following table for the standard naming conventions to use throughout Transform.
