The concept also provides the ability to store additional information in the form of property group, property key and property value.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| property group | The property group can be used to group/categorize the properties. |
| property key | The property key is the identifier of the custom property . It has to be unique per property group. |
| property value | The property value is used to store the custom information. |
Configuration of Predefined Custom Properties
Because it may be necessary or helpful under certain circumstances (e.g., custom additional information is useful or required), the IOM extended the concept of custom properties by having the ability to configure a predefined property group, property key pairs in a shop and business object-related context.
