Transaction type is the generic term that refers to transaction types for sales documents in Order Management. Note: Sales Agreements only use automatic numbering. Setup is discussed later in this chapter. Creating document sequences and assigning them to order transaction types are two separate steps in Order Management, and neither can be done directly from the transaction types window. Order numbers are now controlled by assigning a unique document sequence to your order transaction type. There are transaction types associated with both order types and line types. In graphical format you can see not only the activities that the workflow has completed but also the activities that still require completion.Īssign and sequence approvers for notifications. You can view the status of the workflow on an order or order line in either tabular or graphical format. There is no limit to the number of custom workflow activities that can be defined in Order Management. Retain the same document number as the quote or generate a new document number when the transition to fulfillment occurs.Ī workflow process can have an unlimited number of activities Please note that line flows are not assigned for quotes.Ī workflow process can have subprocesses.Ĭontrol of how Document numbers are generated as a document moves through the negotiation phase to the fulfillment phase. This makes it very easy to extend OM.Įach quote is assigned a header flow only. You can create new workflow activities from custom PL/SQL code. This allows you to have both order and return lines on the same order. Some of the features of Transaction Types/Workflow are:Įach line in a sales order has its own workflow so each line may follow a different flow. A detailed example is provided at the end of the chapter. The setup steps required to create a new transaction type are described, including creating the order transaction type, the line transaction type, assigning the document sequence and associating the appropriate workflows. In this chapter, we will discuss the setup of Order Management Transaction Types and provide detailed examples. Transaction Types provide default information for sales documents such as orders, quotes, and sales agreements, and establish process controls with Oracle Workflow. Attributes and Entities in Order Managementĭefinition of transaction types is required in Oracle Order Management.Assigning Workflows to Transaction Types.The details of how providers enlist themselves as resource managers with the transaction coordinator are described in the Component Services (or Microsoft Transaction Server if you are using Microsoft? Windows NT?) documentation.įor more information about transactions, see Transactions.This chapter covers the following topics: OLE DB defines an interface, ITransactionJoin, for consumers to request that providers enlist in a coordinated transaction among multiple (possibly distributed) data providers and other types of resource managers. Calling ITransaction::Commit or ITransaction::Abort on the session commits or aborts, respectively, the transaction at the lowest level. A consumer can interrogate the transaction capabilities of a provider through IDBProperties.įor providers that support nested transactions, calling ITransactionLocal::StartTransaction within an existing transaction begins a new nested transaction below the current transaction. OLE DB providers do not need to support all possible transaction options defined. ITransactionLocal::StartTransaction supports various isolation levels that consumers can request when creating a transaction. When a session enters a local or coordinated transaction, all the work done under the session ? between the ITransactionLocal::StartTransaction and ITransaction::Commit or ITransaction::Abort method calls and including other objects created underneath it (commands or rowsets) ? is part of the transaction. When created, a session is outside of a transaction and all the work done under the scope of the session is immediately committed on each OLE DB method call. A session can be inside or outside of a transaction at any time. A call to ITransactionLocal::StartTransaction begins a transaction on the session. A provider that supports transactions exposes ITransactionLocal on the session.

Local transactions refer to transactions running in the context of a resource manager. Transactions allow the specification of various isolation levels to enable more flexible access to data among concurrent consumers. These units of work have the atomicity, concurrency, isolation, and durability (ACID) properties. A transaction enables consumers to define units of work within a provider. OLE DB defines a basic set of interfaces for transaction management.
