Conditions

A condition matches document type attributes against decision points and routes the document to the appropriate path based on the specified attribute and value combinations.

The document type attributes against which conditions can be created are pre-defined in Sterling Order Management. You can use these attributes in any combination or you can create conditions that run the appropriate application logic for specific circumstances.

For example, at a certain point in a Sales Order Fulfillment process-type pipeline you set up a condition to determine if an order contains hazardous materials. When an order reaches this condition in the pipeline, it cannot move any further until the condition is met with a definitive Yes or No value. In this example, if the order contains no hazardous materials, the value is No and the order continues through the regular pipeline. If the order does contain hazardous material, the value is Yes and the order is sent down an alternate branch of the order pipeline that has been configured to deal with hazardous material orders.
