Re: [tamie] Question on uc3 again...

[Stephen Green <stephen.green@documentengineeringservices.com>]

No idea how correct the ebBP is but recently
I produced for another project an ebBP representation
of the diagram which I thought might be of use (and
maybe could solicit any feedback in the process).
It is based on the ebBP work I did previously for the

UBL SBS (Small Business Subset) which Sacha 
Schlegel and I called Universal Business Processes
(i.e. reusable, common processes for OASIS UBL). 

Best regards

Question follows uc3 ubl diagram

 

 

 

 

Consider the flow back through “Add Detail” activity. An Order Response message is sent. A Receive Response activity occurs leading to an update order choice.

 

Why do we have three choices at “update order”?  I think there should just be “Cancel Order” or “Change Order” 

 

The “Accept Order” activity produces no message, while the other two produce the changed order message or the cancel order message.

 

What is the Seller expected to do if the Buyer enters the Accept Order state? (A time out will lead to a performance failure…)

 

It would make more sense to me if we reached Order Accepted by going back to the Seller and then Receiving his Order Response Simple (or by agreement, response not required.)
