What is a decision tree?

It is often the case that you need to make a decision in a functional object based on some data.

For example you may need to turn screen fields off on a Material Master(MM) request based on the material type. Traditionally this would be handled by setting up a configuration table and entering the data there.

A configuration table has a fixed structure – if an additional decision level needs to be added at a later date then the structure of the configuration table would need to change – and so a data conversion may be necessary

Note that you do NOT change delivered Promenta trees – instead you copy-and-override with your own. Please see here for more information
