Putting It Together in a Business Process

This example uses a simplified Wholesale Order-to-Delivery process that contains the following Audit Events: Order Receipt, Order Validation (to check availability), Create Delivery Order, and Create Shipment.

As explained previously a single audit event may contain many event statuses that can be tracked and logged. Once all event statuses are completed for an audit event, the transaction progresses to the next audit event in the business process. As seen below, the Order Receipt audit event progresses to the Order Validation audit event.

For Order Validation, the event status of Started is where the system may check to see which warehouse contains the item. Once the item is located the event status changes to Finished and the transaction moves to the next audit event where a Delivery Order is created, and so on.
