Compound

A compound is a group of decision tables which are associated with a single logical objective, such as a motor design. Simple configuration tasks can be combined in a compound (e.g. offer generation), while more complex tasks should be split into logically distinct"subtasks" (e.g. an offer-dialog process and one or more design compounds for each product group). compounds are combined to form groups.

A compound’s decision tables can call themselves directly by name (p$<DT Name>). If a DT is called from a different compound, call must be preceded by the compound name (p$<compound>:<DT Name>).

A compound of decision tables is assigned the parameter table of the compound, in which the parameters necessary for the logic are declared.
