eDocuments advanced ordering flows

This article describes the advanced ordering functionality in eDocuments, which allows for the alteration and cancellation of electronic orders (eOrders) in Continia Document Capture.

While the standard eOrdering flow supports orders and order responses, the advanced eOrdering flows add order cancellations and order changes to the process. This provides you with more flexibility when handling orders as a customer (buyer) or as a vendor (seller).

The scenarios below illustrate the flows made possible by the advanced ordering functionality.

Wichtig

Only one order change per document is supported, be it on the customer or vendor side.

Hinweis

Technically, changes and cancellations are only shown as such when sent by the buyer. When sent by the seller, these are shown as order responses.
