Definition

Status path

Use

This is used in definition of Business rules and Process status flow rules. The status path defines whether a transition between status of sub process scenarios is 'Allowed'/'Not Allowed' in accordance with the business rules.

Dependencies

See also Business Rules, Process Status Flow Rules, 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..

So process status flow rule between the sub process scenarios could be defined as-

Prim SPS : MData Changes Stat Path: ALLOW Sec SPS : Len of serv

Pri Status : Completed Sec Stat : In Process

i.e Allow the status of sub process scenario Length of Service to be set to 'In Process' only after Master Data changes is 'Completed'.
