Teach Yourself e.net - Syspro

Processes
Objectives - The objective of this chapter is to show the logical progression possible when
planning an e.net solutions application. By using UML diagrams we will show the steps
that need to be followed for the creation and processing of a sales order.
When developing an e.net solutions application it is useful to first define the processes that
will be necessary to produce the data and business functions that are required. In this
chapter we will briefly present a Sales Order process, with some sample UML diagrams
and some sample ASP.NET Visual Basic code that outlines the basics of the process. We
will then add a few sub processes to the Sales Order process in order to show how
predefining the process can assist in the production of an application.
7.1. Sales Order Processing
The following process demonstrates a simple Sales Order (there are no back orders to
process). Each step along the process can be defined using UML or another process
diagramming system of your choice. As you read through the process and the included
UML diagrams please note that the processes are brief and contain no specific XML
instructions. In order to define a process such as this you will already need to be familiar
with the business objects available on the SYSPRO e.net solutions system.
