Lifecycle states

In this document

Which states can a business object enter, and what triggers or guards each change?

The supplied evidence does not establish any business-object lifecycle states or successful state transitions for either order records or customer profiles. State is described as a lookup of two-character state codes to full names, which is address/reference data rather than an order or customer lifecycle E0013. Order records expose dates such as order date, ship date, and paid date, but those fields do not establish named states or transitions E0013.

The view therefore contains no lifecycle elements or transition relationships. The evidence describes order creation and transaction handling, but not named lifecycle-state changes; order update and delete operations are explicitly unimplemented E0012. Customer operations remain unresolved because the customer implementation is absent from the supplied evidence E0012.

Elements

No supported lifecycle-state elements were identified in the supplied evidence E0012 E0013.

Relationships

No supported lifecycle-state transitions were identified in the supplied evidence E0012 E0013.

Gaps

  • No named order lifecycle states are supplied. Fields such as order_date, ship_date, paid_date, and backlog are evidenced, but their presence does not define states or state changes E0013.
  • No trigger or guard is evidenced for an order entering a lifecycle state. The documented order-add flow shows validation, item entry, insertion, and commit, but does not name a lifecycle state transition E0011 E0012.
  • Order update and delete options only report that they are not implemented, so they cannot support successful transitions E0011 E0012.
  • No named customer-profile lifecycle states or transitions are evidenced. The customer implementation is missing, and the behavior and status contract of query_customer() remain unresolved E0012.
  • State should not be treated as a lifecycle state: the evidence characterizes it as a two-character state-code and full-name lookup used for address validation E0013.
  • Follow-up evidence should identify the authoritative state fields or enum values for each business object, plus the operations, triggers, guards, and successful persistence behavior that change them E0012 E0013.

Recovery limitations

  • No supported relationships reconstructed.
