Order Component Specification Editor Details Tab

Use the Details tab to specify an optional base order component, the process that executes the order component, and the order components that act as a source of order items to the corresponding order component specification.

Field Use

Extends

Select an existing order component to leverage the data and extend the functionality of that existing order component. Extending from an order component causes the child order component to inherit data elements, external fulfillment types and some other data, but does not cause the child order component to inherit data like permissions and duration, since those settings would be specific to the child order component. You will see the inherited information in the editor for the child order component specification.

Process

Specify the subprocess task used to complete the order component or to complete order components that receive order items from this order component.

Order Component Executable

Select if this order component contains all of the order items necessary to run an instance of the subprocess task associated with this order component or associated with the order component from which this order component receives order items.

Use Calculated Start Date

Select to use the calculated start date. If selected, the order component will not start until the calculated start date is reached. If the current date and time are greater than calculated start date, then the calculated start date is ignored.

If disabled, the order component starts as soon as all preceding dependencies are resolved.

Applies to Order Component area

Specify the order components that act as a source of order items to the corresponding order component specification. The order components in the Applies to Order Component area populate the corresponding order component specification with order items through decomposition rules. See "Working with Decomposition Rules" for more information.

Base Component

Functions

Search

Use these fields to limit the number of order components that appear in the Applies to Order Component area. The Order Component Specification editor displays all order component specifications defined in the workspace. Use Base Component to limit the display to a single root-level order component and its dependencies. Use Functions to limit the scope to executable order components (order components associated with a process). Enter a value in the Search field to search for a specific order component.
