Concept type:	directive

Note:	‘Practicable’ means that a person who understands a directive could observe a relevant situation (including his or her own behavior) and recognize directly whether or not the business was complying with that directive. For rules that govern activity (SBVR ‘operative business rule’) this recognition is about the behavior of people and what form compliant behavior takes. For example, “each rental must be guaranteed by a valid credit card held by the renter of the rental.” For definitional rules (SBVR ‘structural business rule’) this recognition is about evaluation of the criteria vested in the rule to produce consistent outcomes for decisions or calculations. For example, “a car model requested for a rental must be a car model of the car group specified for the rental.”Property "Note" (as page type) with input value "‘Practicable’ means that a person who understands a directive could observe a relevant</br>situation (including his or her own behavior) and recognize directly whether or not the</br>business was complying with that directive.</br>For rules that govern activity (SBVR ‘operative business rule’) this recognition is about the</br>behavior of people and what form compliant behavior takes.
