Process Flow Summary

Step Domain Service Display Name Connects To
1 Sales INT1337-RCV-Order-Incoming Order Received → Step 2
2 Planning INT1337-ENT-Order-Entry Order Entry → Steps 3, 4
3 Sales INT1337-SND-Confirm-Outgoing Confirmation Sent → Step 4
4 Planning INT1337-PLN-Order-Scheduled Production Scheduled → Step 5
5 Logistics INT1337-PKG-Order-Packed Ready for Transport → Step 6
6 Logistics INT1337-RCV-Order-Delivered Order Delivered → Step 7
7 Finance INT1337-INV-Order-Invoiced Order Invoiced (End)

Key Process Characteristics

  • Divergence Point: Step 2 splits into two parallel paths (Confirmation + Planning)
  • Convergence Point: Step 4 waits for both Step 2 and Step 3 to complete
  • Linear Backbone: Steps 1 → 5 → 6 → 7 form the main sequence
  • Arrow Direction: All flow left-to-right (SourceAttachmentPoint=3, TargetAttachmentPoint=1)
