About Transformed Order Item Fulfillment State Composition Rule Sets

Fulfillment state composition rules for transformed order items are defined in transformed order item composition rule sets. As with regular order items, you can have only one fulfillment state rule set per orchestration fulfillment pattern and order item specification combination.

A fulfillment state composition rule specifies the composite fulfillment state for the transformed order item when all of the conditions are met. If there are separate situations that can result in the same fulfillment state (for example, use this composite state if either any of the input states is completed, or if none of the states is failed), create additional rules that evaluate to the same composite fulfillment state.

The difference between these rule sets and the order item fulfillment state composition rule sets is that these rule sets enable you to account for the fact that a particular order item might have relationships with multiple transformed order items, all of which might affect the fulfillment state. Rules will calculate the state of an order item based on its associated transformed order items taking into consideration:

  • The order item specification of the transformed order items

  • The order component associated with the order item

  • The type of relationship that exists between a source and transformed order item

  • The conceptual model entity associated with the source order item.
