Plan Item
As an order consists of order lines, a plan consists of plan items. Each plan item represents a set of work that must be performed to fulfill an order. Order lines might map onto plan items, but not necessarily. However, plan items always map onto at least one order line. One order line might require multiple plan items to be fulfilled, and likewise multiple order lines might be fulfilled by a single plan item. An order line that doesn’t require the completion of any physical tasks is classified as non-executing and does not require a plan item. The abstraction and logic required to map order lines into plan items is implemented in Automated Order Plan Development as part of core TIBCO Order Management - Low Latency.
