Overview
In prior releases of Oracle Order Entry,
Order Types were used for defaulting information on orders, establishing
processing controls such as invoicing, and most importantly, determining the
Order Cycle that an order would have. Order Cycles, in turn, controlled the
processing flow of an order.
With the release of Oracle Order Management
11i, Order Cycles have been replaced by Oracle Order Management Workflow
definitions, and Order Types have been replaced by Order Management Transaction
Types. Order Management provides seeded Workflow process definitions for both
orders and lines, and Order Management also enables you to define both order
header and Order Line transaction types.
