Abstract

In one aspect, there is provided a method for value help and check. The method may include receiving an indication associated with a user interface element, the indication representing a value help request for the user interface element; sending a request for a value help to a value help business object configured to provide the value help to a user interface including the user interface element, the user interface element bound to a portion of the value help business object; and receiving, at the user interface comprising the user interface element, a response to the request, the response comprising the value help. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also disclosed.

Claims

1. A computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs having instructions which when executed by at least one programmable processor, cause the at least one programmable processor to perform operations comprising:

receiving an indication associated with a user interface element, the indication representing a value help request for the user interface element;

sending a request for a value help to a value help business object configured to provide the value help to a user interface including the user interface element, the user interface element bound to a portion of the value help business object; and

receiving, at the user interface comprising the user interface element, a response to the request, the response comprising the value help.

2. The computer-readable medium of claim 1, wherein the value help business object is configured to provide the value help and a value check for the user interface element, wherein the value help represents one or more candidate selections for entry into the user interface element, and the value check represents a verification of the one or more candidate selections.

3. The computer-readable medium of claim 1, wherein the user interface element is bound by associating, via another user interface, the user interface element to the portion comprising a node of the value help business object.

4. The computer-readable medium of claim 1, wherein the user interface is modeled by a business object.

5. The computer-readable medium of claim 4, wherein the value help business object shares metadata stored at a metadata repository with the business object modeled for the user interface.

6. The computer-readable medium of claim 5, wherein the shared metadata includes an identifier, a customer identifier, a product identifier, and a country code.

7. The computer-readable medium of claim 5, wherein sending the request comprises:

navigating, based on one or more associations, from the business object modeled and stored in the metadata repository to the value help business object modeled and stored in the same metadata repository.

8. A method comprising:

receiving an indication associated with a user interface element, the indication representing a value help request for the user interface element;

sending a request for a value help to a value help business object configured to provide the value help to a user interface including the user interface element, the user interface element bound to a portion of the value help business object; and

receiving, at the user interface comprising the user interface element, a response to the request, the response comprising the value help.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the value help business object is configured to provide the value help and a value check for the user interface element, wherein the value help represents one or more candidate selections for entry into the user interface element, and the value check represents a verification of the one or more candidate selections.

10. The method of claim 8, wherein the user interface element is bound by associating, via another user interface, the user interface element to the portion comprising a node of the value help business object.

11. The method of claim 8, wherein the user interface is modeled by a business object.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the value help business object shares metadata stored at a metadata repository with the business object modeled for the user interface.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the shared metadata includes an identifier, a customer identifier, a product identifier, and a country code.

14. The method of claim 12, wherein sending the request comprises:

navigating, based on one or more associations, from the business object modeled and stored in the metadata repository to the value help business object modeled and stored in the same metadata repository.

15. A system comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one memory including code that, when executed by at least one programmable processor, causes operations comprising;

receiving an indication associated with a user interface element, the indication representing a value help request for the user interface element;

sending a request for a value help to a value help business object configured to provide the value help to a user interface including the user interface element, the user interface element bound to a portion of the value help business object; and

receiving, at the user interface comprising the user interface element, a response to the request, the response comprising the value help.

16. The system of claim 15, wherein the value help business object is configured to provide the value help and a value check for the user interface element, wherein the value help represents one or more candidate selections for entry into the user interface element, and the value check represents a verification of the one or more candidate selections.

17. The system of claim 15, wherein the user interface element is bound by associating, via another user interface, the user interface element to the portion comprising a node of the value help business object.

18. The system of claim 15, wherein the user interface is modeled by a business object.

19. The system of claim 18, wherein the value help business object shares metadata stored at a metadata repository with the business object modeled for the user interface.

20. The system of claim 19, wherein the shared metadata includes an identifier, a customer identifier, a product identifier, and a country code.
