The research work is focused on analysis of possibilities of business rules formalization,

storage in database tables, user friendliness improvement, and rules management.

Business rules have been taken into investigation not long ago. Possibilities of using business

rules in business software are still being defined. Formalization and usage of business rules in

IT systems is very important, because rules are very often in any business, and any rule has a

strong tendency to change over time. The changes of rules are caused by dynamic laws,

competitors’ decisions, changing environment in the market, and many other factors. Business

rules influence and guide the behavior of employees (influence on business), influence the

information that is recorded in IT systems as well as restrict the modification of this

information (influence on IT).

The practical task of the work is to design and to develop a business rules management

system for usage in SAP environment. The system should optimize the work of coders during

the development and maintenance of additional functions for SAP R/3 ERP system.
