Customer Entity

• Account number

• Customer group

• Bank account

• Party number

• Name

• Primary postal address

• Primary email address

• Primary fax number

For example, in normalized tables, a lot of the data for each customer might be stored in a

customer table, and then the rest might be spread across a small set of related tables. In

this case, the data entity for the customer concept appears as one de-normalized view, in

which each row contains all the data from the customer table and its related tables.
