IBASE- Difference b/w Object component & Product Component

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have been exploring the IBASE functionality in CRM. I understand that it is used to define the device/product installed at customer site.

I want to understand what is the difference between Object component & Product component? Which leads to my next question, that is what is the difference between product and object?
If someone can explain the difference with a small example, it would be very helpful.

Regards,

Hello Shahrukh

Here is the difference between product and Object

1. Product is just like we have a material in ECC and this explains the basic feature of a product e.g car is a product

2. Object is the term used to uniquely identify a product. e.g plate number of a car will  uniquly identify  a product

Let me know if you have any further questions.
