Implementing the business process

Implement the process that receives and checks the loan request.

The following image describes how you will implement the business process for the loan application:
Business process
After the loan request is received, the applicant's credit score will be checked against a business rule of the bank. Credit score is randomly determined per customer, depending on the taxPayerId. An applicant with a taxPayerId that ends with "888" is always trusted, and is therefore assigned a credit score of 888. The business rule states that any application submitted by an applicant who has a credit score of 750 or less, will be rejected.

If the applicant's credit score is above 750, there will be another evaluation, this time against the loan amount indicated in the application. If the loan amount is less than $50 000, the process is set up to automatically approve that loan. However, if the loan amount exceeds $50 000, it will need to be manually approved by a bank employee. In every case, a bank employee is involved in the process, even if the application was automatically approved.

To create the process that will handle the implementation of the loan application business logic as outlined above, complete the following tasks.
