Lifecycle states
In this document
Which states can a business object enter, and what triggers or guards each change?
This view is limited to actual named lifecycle states and evidenced successful transitions for Order, Customer record, and Stock item. The supplied material documents operations, fields, and UI structures, but it does not define a supported state vocabulary or successful state changes for these objects E0004 E0005 E0006.
Terms such as “backlog” and “paid date” appear as order fields, while “active orders” appears as a condition blocking customer deletion; these do not, by themselves, establish lifecycle states or transitions E0004 E0006. The documented customer-deletion rule is a rejected operation, not evidence of a successful state transition E0004 E0005. Order insertion is documented, but no named resulting order state is supplied E0004 E0005.
Elements
No supported state elements were recovered from the supplied evidence E0004 E0005 E0006.
Relationships
No supported state transitions were recovered from the supplied evidence E0004 E0005 E0006.
Gaps
- The evidence does not name initial, intermediate, or terminal states for Order, Customer record, or Stock item E0004 E0005 E0006.
- The order evidence describes adding orders and exposes fields such as backlog, ship date, and paid date, but does not state that these are lifecycle states or show transitions between them E0004 E0005 E0006.
- Customer deletion requires confirmation and is blocked when active orders exist; this establishes a guard on a rejected operation, not a successful customer-state transition E0004 E0005 E0006.
- Stock add, find, update, and delete options are documented as currently unimplemented, with no state behavior established E0005 E0006.
- Follow-up requires source showing explicit state names, transition logic, and successful transition outcomes for each business object; the supplied form and help artifacts do not provide that evidence E0004 E0006
Recovery limitations
- No supported relationships reconstructed.
