Workflows
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)
