Order fulfillment: 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 Software.

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.

To view the transaction details for a purchase order pipeline:

1. From the tree in the application rules side panel, choose Document Specific > (Document Type) > Fulfillment > Fulfillment Process Model. The Purchase Order Execution window displays.
2. In the Purchase Order Execution window, choose the Transactions icon.
3. The Transactions tab window displays. Refer to the following table for field value descriptions.
