Decision logic and lifecycle states
Decision logic and lifecycle state configuration defines how the system makes choices and tracks order progress during processing. By configuring conditions and statuses, you control workflow branching, enforce business rules, and provide clear visibility into where an order is in its lifecycle.
This configuration helps ensure for consistency that orders follow the correct path, transition through valid states, and behave consistently as business rules and requirements change.
Overview
- How decisions are made
- How progress is represented
Conditions evaluate order data and system context to determine which processing path to follow. Statuses represent lifecycle milestones that track progress and control which actions, transactions, or updates are valid at each stage.
Together, conditions and statuses act as the control layer for workflows. Conditions guide branching within process flows, while lifecycle states provide visibility and guardrails as orders move from creation through completion. This separation helps keep workflows flexible, predictable, and easier to maintain as logic evolves.
