Records
Appian Records are the most important object type in Appian and integrate data, the UI, and processes. In our invoice validation application, the central record is called Case. It represents a single instance of the validation process, displays the relevant data, and allows a user to act.
Appian has the feature of synchronizing record data into an internal data store that is highly optimized for complex queries, aggregation, and analytics. This allows easier and more flexible application design. I will bring it to your attention when we use a functionality based on synchronized records.
Creating records
I will now walk you through creating one record. Once done, please create records for all entities in the same way. You will then have generated the following list of objects:

- IVP order
- IVP supplier
- IVP account
- IVP invoice
- IVP delivery
- IVP status transition
- IVP activity
