Negotiation: transactions

Every process type has a set of base transactions defined for it. A transaction is a logical unit of work that is necessary for performing activity within Sterling™ Order Management System.

About this task

Base transactions are predefined transactions that contain information about how the transaction behaves, such as how many copies of a transaction can be kept in a process type and whether or not it can have configurable base pick and drop statuses. Base transactions can be used to create new transactions. These transactions can be changed within the limits defined in the base transaction.
