Creating a Workflow
When a shipment is created, rulebooks are checked and a list of rules is run on the shipment. This defaults information into the shipment, including which workflow to associate with it. If more than one rule specifies a workflow, the workflow specified by the latest rule run overrides the others. If no rule specifies a workflow, the shipment type determines the workflow. It is often appropriate to associate different workflows with different shipment types. For example, a different workflow or process may be required for export and domestic shipments, or for hazardous material.
Note: For more information on rules, read Topic 006 Rules and Rulebooks, which is in the QAD Document Library.
To specify a workflow based on the shipment type, you must:
1 Create a workflow.
2 Create a shipment type.
3 Associate the shipment type with the workflow.
