Definition

Business rules

Use

In the process workbench engine (PWE), several process are linked together to complete a whole business process. These individual processes which are called sub process scenario, need to be completed in a certain sequence. The business rule defines the sequence in which the sub process scenarios have to be executed in order to complete the business scenario.

Dependencies

See also Process Status Flow Rule, Relationship between sub process scenarios.

Example

In a business scenario like "Pension Administration for Employees", the sub process scenarios could be -

- Master Data changes

- Calculate length of Service

- Generate Notification reports

- Approve reports, etc..

The sequence of steps to complete the business scenario may be : first complete Master Data Changes, then calculate length of service and then proceed to generate notification reports,etc..

I.e. There are are certain sub process scenarios which are pre-requisite for other sub process scenarios, where as there may be some which are not dependent on each other.
