Order flow process using non-ATP inventory with WebSphere Commerce Payments
The order flow process depends on whether the store uses the the Payments subsystem (introduced in WebSphere Commerce v6) and on whether the store uses the non-ATP inventory system.
Prerequisites: The Site Administrator has scheduled the following jobs:
Flow
- Place an order. A customer or an administrator who has the authority to act on behalf of the customer places an order with the store. When the order checkout sequence is complete the order moves to one of the following states:
- A
- Payment authorization requires review
- C
- Payment authorization complete
- Approve the order.
- Approve payment for the order, if required. Payment methods such as COD (Cash on Delivery) and Bill Me do not need approval.
- Ship goods. Ship the order to the customer.
- Finalize the order. The BalancePayment scheduled job initiates payment deposit. The order state moves to D (Deposited).
