Introduction
A business item instance is a specific occurrence or example of a business item. A business item instance can be used as sample data for business items within simulations.
When you create an instance of one of your business items, that instance will inherit all of the attributes that you defined for the business item. You then have the option of adding attribute values for that specific instance.
