Understanding Transitions and Transition Conditions

A transition is the path between tasks. It connects one task to the next task in a JD Edwards EnterpriseOne workflow process. Transition conditions are user-defined rules that determine when the workflow process will continue to the next task. Transitions can contain transition conditions.

You can attach multiple transitions to a task. Each transition is a possible path that the workflow process may follow. The transition condition attached to each transition contains the criteria that determine if the process will follow that transition path. For example, a transition condition named IFAPPROVE might trigger the system to invoke a task that updates the database if a user approves a message, and then invoke a task that sends a message notifying the originator that the message was approved. A transition condition called IFREJECTED might trigger the system to invoke a task that sends a message notifying the originator that a message was rejected.
