Business object and attribute naming conventions

For clarity, use the PSFT_ prefix when you name an business object to represent data in a PeopleSoft Component Interface. Follow this convention for all child business objects as well as for the top-level business object. For example, if you create business objects that represent parent data in the EMERGENCY_CNTCT table and child data in the EMERGENCY_PHONE table, you might name the corresponding business objects: PSFT_EmergencyContact and PSFT_EmergencyPhone.

Note:
In this document, the term hierarchical business object refers to a complete business object, including all the child business objects that it contains at any level. The term individual business object refers to a single business object, independent of any child business objects it might contain. The term top-level business object refers to the individual business object at the top of the hierarchy that does not itself have a parent business object.
