Workflows to Validate a Network

This group of workflows allows a user to validate a network.

• VORD Validate (Quote)
• VORD Validate (Order)

VORD Validate (Quote)

This workflow validates the network (or compound product) associated with the currently selected quote line item. It executes the rules associate with the Compound Product and reports any violations.

This workflow is initiated when a user clicks the Validate button on the Network Line Detail applet in the Quote > Line Item > Network Line Detail View.

This workflow is shown in Figure 32.

Figure 32.  VORD Validate (Quote)

Workflow Description. This workflow does the following:

1. Checks whether the quote has already been converted to an order. If so, displays an error message and terminates the workflow.
2. Calculates the future date for which the network is to be validated.

   The future date is the due date of root line item in the current quote that is part of the same network, with the due date farthest in the future.

3. Invokes the Compound Product Validation Engine to validate each of the rules associated with the compound product.
4. If there are no violations, displays the following message: 'This <compound product> is valid".
5. If there are violations, the error messages are concatenated into a single string and displayed to the user.
