Enhancement Concept and Standardization of BP Predecessor/Successor #601

Open rybtim opened 8 months ago

rybtim commented 8 months ago

Description

I as a BPDM sharing member want to have the functionality to mark a business partner (BPNL, BPNA or BPNS) as the successor or predecessor of another business partner (BPNL, BPNA or BPNS). This is relevant in case of mergers, acquisitions, etc.

The BPDM data model must be enhanced with a possibility for relating a business partner successor to a business partner predecessor, or the other way round. Example: Company A is sold to Company B. The legal name of company A is dissolved but it is still relevant for former customers regarding e.g. warranty claims. Therefor there is a strong need to preserve the information about Company A and the linkage to Company B as legal successor and also vice versa (predecessor).

As this information is currently not available in Catena-X network there must be a concept worked out on how to provide this. This concept must also reflect the aspects of data ownership (e.g. regarding maintenance of sites) as well as the impact for linked data objects (like dissolving existing relations between BPNL/S/A), an and requirement for components and functionalities:

Outlook for further activities based on this concept (if not already covered in the points above) for Release 24.12:

Technical realization of concept.

Impact for technical components (to be validated in the course of the concept work)

• BPDM Gate and Pool API • Portal

No implementation feature for R. 24.08. Handover to Expert Group plannend and moved to Inbox

stephanbcbauer commented 7 months ago

@rybtim added you as assignee because we need a contact person for every feature.

stephanbcbauer commented 7 months ago

Didn't think about it before, but since the feature is still in Inbox, the open decision label is not needed. Opinions?

Discussed with @zygokaktus shouldnt be on Tractus-X

zygokaktus commented 4 months ago

working session of 25.07.2024 can be found in CX BPDM Expert Grpup Sharepoint: https://bcgcatenax.sharepoint.com/:f:/r/sites/C-XNetworkServicesCommittee/Shared%20Documents/Expert%20Group%20-%20BPDM/Working%20sessions/Thursday?csf=1&web=1&e=6DGXih

stephanbcbauer commented 3 months ago

@zygokaktus Can you please create an issue in your BPDM ExpertGoup Repository? and Copy the information into this issue? After this, we can delete this issue here in Tractus-X. Fine for you?

zygokaktus commented 3 months ago

@stephanbcbauer: Why do you see it in tractus-X? It is not relevant there (since it is concept work) but for the standards (i.e. Catena-X assoc,) it is, see: https://github.com/orgs/catenax-eV/projects/15/views/2?sliceBy%5Bvalue%5D=NSC

And it is linked there with this feature.: https://github.com/orgs/catenax-eV/projects/15/views/2?pane=issue&itemId=67960012 So from my point of view it is correct like it is right now? Or do you see it appear somewhere as being relevant for tractus-X? If so, it would be wrong, I agree.

Will be covered in the course of overall topic of relationships. Idea is to establish a dedicated relationship type: "is replaced by" though it has already become obvious that this single relationship type will not cover all scenarios of predecessor/successor cases

@rybtim This repo should be about working and planning specifiy issues. Planning a concept sounds to be something that should be tracked in the association board. Also, this feature just looks to me like a duplicate of #906. Is there a reason not to close this issue here?
