One-order object / one-order framework

Question

Hi all,
What exactly is a one-order object or one-order framework?
Does it refer to a single concept or group of concepts?
Consider the following:
1. customizing your own document or transaction types.
2. entire sales cycle for e.g. opportunity -> quotation -> contract -> order
3. life-cycle status of a single document type say, order: create -> confirm -> delivery (in ECC) -> billing
Which of the above concepts come under one-order object or framework?
Or is it a different concept all-together?

Answer 1

Hi Bappaditya,
One-order concept or framework is nothing but what you have defined.
Actually One-Order framework is using the One-Order like Sales/Service Orders etc..and the flow hw an Order takes ..in ur business scenario.
The path you defined opportunity -> quotation -> contract -> order is nothing but the processing of one-order at various stages of the business.
Each one in this paths refers to one order and also a business object in CRM and has its own business processing logic and definition.
Its not at all a altogether different concept...
its exactly what ur  referring..
Oppurtunity will have the status or process flow like : Newly created->opened->Won/Lost/Cancelled..
Once its processing is done
Suppose its Won.., then Quotation process flow starts like : New->Open->Approvals->Released/Rejected.
Suppose its Released..then either Contract or Sales Order flow starts :
Order->Newly Created->Approved/rejected->completed.
This whole flow is a Sales cycle which is quite the same day-day sales cycle ...jus imagine a sales situation and co relate.
This entire flow is called One-Order flow or framework and this defines the flow in whch an Order flows.....
