You can define a state in a case type as Transitory if you do not wish the case to exist in a particular state. This means that a user will never see the case in this state. If the other states were marked as non-transitory, and an error were to occur during the transition from a transitory state, the case would roll back any changes to data made in the entered state (Enter Processing) along with the changes made in the transitory state, and would end up in the last non-transitory state prior to the transitory state.
