Pause the Fulfillment Process

Use the pause task in an orchestration process to pause order lines during fulfillment processing.

Key Features

• Enables customers to pause the order-processing flow to perform custom external or internal business functions.
• Customers can resume the flow manually in the Oracle Fusion Cloud Order Management work area or by running the Release Pause Tasks scheduled process.
• Customers can use Oracle Business Rules to configure a time-based pause or one that's based on a particular event. The rule can be reevaluated when certain conditions are met.

Best Practices

• Oracle Order Management provides customers with sample rules that let them perform most business functions during a pause with minimum changes. These rules are continually reviewed, expanded, and made available to the customer.
• Customers can use interprocess communication to perform pause use cases. For example, one that lets all lines in an order to ship independently but pauses the process before going to billing unless all lines are shipped.
