The IT Component fact sheet in the SAP LeanIX data model is used to represent technology elements. These elements are broadly classified into categories such as Software, Hardware, or Service. Each category has more specific subtypes. 'SaaS' (Software as a Service) is a standard subtype for the Software category, describing a software delivery model. 'Server' is a standard subtype for the Hardware category, representing a specific type of physical or virtual equipment.

B. Business process: This is a distinct, top-level fact sheet type within the SAP LeanIX meta-model, used to describe business operations, not a subtype of a technology element.

D. Hardware: This is a high-level category for an IT Component, not a specific subtype. Subtypes under the Hardware category are more granular, such as 'Server', 'Storage', or 'Network Device'.

1. SAP Help Portal - SAP LeanIX: Fact Sheet Types. The official documentation outlines the standard data model. The "IT Component" section details its purpose and structure

listing 'Software' and 'Hardware' as categories. It provides 'SaaS' as an example subtype for Software and 'Server' as an example subtype for Hardware. The "Business Process" is documented as a separate

distinct fact sheet type. (Accessed via SAP Help Portal for SAP LeanIX documentation).

with subtypes like Server being part of the model. (This poster is a standard reference provided by the vendor).
