Depending on what data you update you need to do the following:
If updating SAP tables or customer tables which are an extension of a SAP object like business partner, material, activity or similar:
1. Create the extension of the data object via the easy enhancement workbench (EEWB). This will also create mapping functionality from MSA to CRM Server and extend the BDocs.
2. Go to the BDoc modeler. Find the sBDoc for data exchange (type Write BDoc), that contains your object and check whether the new segment is there.
3. In the Mobile Application Studio (MAS) you can now create a custom business object related to the standard sBDoc mentioned in 2 which is mapped to the new segment. This way the data exchange happens together with the main object
4. Drag & drop the fields of the new BO to a new tile, and link that tile to the existing main object in the UI via the appropriate relation.
If you would create a new business object / BDoc for a set of attributes belonging to a main object and not use an extension of the existing BDoc then the data would get its own flow and when replicating it would not come together with the main data. This can lead to data inconsistencies and in surplus effort administrating this data.
If you have your own objects not related to a SAP object, you can do it the following way:
1. Create your own table(s)
2. Create a Write sBDoc on the table(s)
3. Create BO's on each BDoc segment / table
4. (as above)
Hope this helps,
