Document type configuration

Edit online

Sterling Order Management System uses document types to carry information through a configured business process workflow. These documents are derived from base document types. A base document type defines the business documents that Sterling Order Management System handles, and defines a common storage structure for all derived document types.

The following base document types are defined in Sterling Order Management System:

General
Order
Load
Count
Container
Wave
Work Order
Opportunity
Note: The available base document types are predefined and cannot be added to.

Document types are specific business documents that are derived from a base document type. For example, document types such as Sales Order and Purchase Order are derived from the Order base document type.

To complete a life cycle, each document type has a set of different processes that it can go through. These processes are called process types. Every base document type has a defined set of process types in Sterling Order Management System.

Following are the process types defined in Sterling Order Management System (for the base document types):
