5. Examine the Attributes list, then take action.

   • The orchestration process step examines each attribute in this list to determine whether to compensate the sales order when it receives a change order. If the list includes the attributes that your step requires to identify change, then set the Task Type attribute on the step to this task type, then go to the next step in this procedure.

   • Click Actions > Select and Add.

   • In the Change Attributes dialog, click an attribute, such as Scheduled Ship Date.

   • Click Apply > OK.
