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 an activity within Sterling Selling and Fulfillment Foundation. Base transactions are predefined transactions that contain information about the transaction behavior such as how many copies of a transaction can be kept in a process type and whether 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.
For more information about transactions, see the Configuring system-wide settings.
