Overview
Basic Automated Order Plan Development is the capability to create custom order plans that fulfill an order, taking into account the specifications of the required products and the products currently provided to a customer.
A Product Model contains Bundles and Products Services. A Product model also contains concepts such as sequencing and dependencies.
When an order is received, order lines are decomposed using a Product model. The product specification for each order line is extracted from a product catalog by the decomposition component.
The product specification is required to create execution plan fragments. These execution plan fragments define services, products, and resources required. For example, an order line may contain a bundle, which may be comprised of several products and services. Taking into consideration factors such as sequencing and dependencies, these execution plan fragments are then combined to create a single execution plan.
