Transaction Workflows represent a set of Transactions that belong together in a business process.

For each type of business, Transactions are related to each other if they share a common reference. For instance in the Retail Workflow, related Transactions all use the Purchase Order Number as a common reference.

Orderful currently supports three Transaction Workflows:

  • Retail Workflow (EDIFACT & X12)
  • Transportation Workflow (X12 only)
  • Warehouse Workflow (X12 only)
