OLCAP objects can be integrated into the company structure where they automatically find their location within the structure, independently create the intended connections to other elements and receive and send data. From the
time of creation onwards, the elements are integrated completely into the structure.
These objects represent, for instance, wards, departments and clinics in a hospital, cost and profit centers in a manufacturing company, or branches, departments, product groups and products in a commercial company. They
can be combined in any possible way.
There are enormous practical challenges, especially with regard to time, hierarchy and operational causality: An annual profit and loss statement is generated by adding the monthly values. However, on the annual balance
sheet the annual value is the value for December. Output VAT debtors appear
in the following month, output VAT liabilities in the month after next, etc. All of these operational requirements and their consideration in logic, time and hierarchy are already incorporated in the object definitions and need no longer
be considered in the structure of the CPM system.
