A _Value Domain_ refers to where value is being brought. It does not have anything to do with the size of a department, its name, or the number of objects which are being managed. One example where conflict can arise is with the functional name "Purchasing". Companies will generally have their own Purchasing department and will expect to have _there own_ Value Domain. Due to the Value Domain Model structure _Px_ is already being used, and Purchasing belongs to the _Logistic_ domain, i.e. sourcing and bringing it to the user. Other users might also be uncertain as to which directory they should use. Tip: It is wise to get a consensus between the users to what should be used at the beginning, so as to save time and friction later. Documents can later be moved around between Domains when needed. --- ### Where to they come from The names are derived from the Workx _Value Domain Model_ (VDM). The model is a generic model which can be used by SMEs, NPOs, projects. Parts of the VDM come from the telecommunications industry's TM Forum Frameworx.
