Intershop Order Management (IOM) has the ability to change orders in certain statuses by creating change requests that can be applied to an order. This document describes the general process, status model and limitations of IOM's order changes.
The target audience of this concept are consultants.
Order change requests pass through a defined business process.
The business process flow is as follows:
Once the change request successfully passed validations and security checks, it will be stored with the status OPEN
and any other processing of the order will be stopped. This happens synchronously within the REST call.
Info
ACCEPTED
; always.APPLIED
and the order continues processing if no further open change requests exist.Order change requests are aligned to a defined status model, that will be explained in this section.
The following table explains the currently available statuses:
Status | Comment |
---|---|
OPEN | The change request was successfully created. START-STATE |
ACCEPTED | The change request was accepted. All approvals are accepted (or none are required). |
APPLIED | The change request was successfully applied to the order. END-STATE |
FAILED_TO_APPLY | Applying the change request failed because of one or more reasons. END-STATE |
This state model explains the currently available statuses and transitions.
The order change feature will be enhanced stepwise. Therefore there are limitations because of not yet implemented enhancements.
The following list of known limitations should be considered:
