About Fulfillment Patterns

Fulfillment patterns define a set of high-level functions that can be performed to process an action or conceptual model entity. For example, a fulfillment pattern can define the functions that are required to process conceptual model entities and actions for provisioning, billing, or installation. In OSM, you associate fulfillment patterns with the processes that execute the order items.

You can associate any conceptual model entity or action to a fulfillment pattern. For example, you can associate multiple products to one fulfillment pattern, which enables you to introduce new products with minimal configuration in Design Studio. Fulfillment patterns realize as OSM fulfillment patterns.

Fulfillment patterns contain any number of fulfillment functions, which are functional-level order components.
