Work objects and supplier release

Work objects are used to process all master data operations and their release in the vendor master record.

In addition to the actual vendor data that is entered when vendor master records are created and updated, work objects also contain supplementary metadata that describes the data operation in more detail. This includes information on the creation of the work object, the origin of the work object, its scope (organization or organizational unit), and so on.

If a release is required for processing the data contained in a work object due to a vendor release workflow, these work objects are only processed after final release and the data contained is written to the vendor master record.
