Lifecycle states
In this document
Which states can a business object enter, and what triggers or guards each change?
The supplied evidence does not identify any named lifecycle states for Order or Customer record, nor does it document transitions between such states. The State class is described as a record containing a state code and name, which is geographic/reference data rather than an evidenced lifecycle model E0007.
Customer functions support adding, finding, updating, and deleting records, while order entry can commit an order and its items or roll back after an insertion failure; these operations do not name lifecycle states or establish state transitions E0007. A deletion blocked because matching orders exist, or an order insertion rolled back after failure, is not evidence of a successful lifecycle transition E0007.
Elements
No supported lifecycle state elements were identified in the supplied evidence E0007.
Relationships
No evidenced lifecycle transitions were identified in the supplied evidence E0007.
Gaps
- The evidence does not provide named lifecycle states for
OrderorCustomer recordE0007. - The evidence does not establish an initial state, terminal state, or transition trigger/guard for either business object E0007.
- Customer add, update, and delete operations lack named before-and-after lifecycle states E0007.
- Order commit and rollback describe transaction outcomes, not documented business lifecycle states E0007.
- The
Staterecord should not be treated as an order or customer lifecycle state because its supplied fields arecodeandsnameand it is loaded as reference data E0007. - Further source evidence is required, such as explicit state fields, enumerated lifecycle labels, or code that assigns and transitions those labels E0007.
Recovery limitations
- No supported relationships reconstructed.
