Work Flow Assignments

Work flow assignments (XREFs) can be specified at several levels (listed from least to most specific). The most specific work flow assignment that applies is the one used.

1. Default: The work flow specified as Default on the work flow header for a business transaction type is used if nothing more specific is specified.
   
   
2. Transaction Type: Business transaction processing can flow in two directions: from ECO to an external system or from an external system to ECO (set on the Transaction Types configuration page as ToHost or ToTradingPartner).
   
   Click Work Flow XREF on a transaction type to specify the work flow to use for each business transaction type.
   
   
   
   
   
3. Trading Partner Group: You can specify a work flow assignment while editing a trading partner group.
   
   To the right of the business transaction type is a drop-down list. If left blank, the XREFs being specified are at the trading partner group level:
   
   
   
   
   
4. Trading Partner: You can specify work flow assignments while editing a trading partner.

5. Trading Partner Group/Transaction Type: You can specify work flow assignments at the trading partner group/transaction type level by selecting a transaction type in the drop-down list mentioned in step four.
   
   
   
   
   
6. Trading Partner/Transaction Type: Similar to step five, if the transaction type drop-down list is specified while editing trading partner work flow assignments, the XREF will be at the trading partner/transaction type level.
