Using Process Synthesis › How to Create a Process Logic Diagram › Identify Sequence of Actions

Identify Sequence of Actions

After identifying all actions on entity types, attributes, and relationships, you can determine the order in which those actions should be performed during process execution.

For example, in the Create Customer Order process, you can perform the following actions:

1. READ customer.
2. CREATE order and ASSOCIATE WITH customer.
3. READ product.
4. CREATE order line and ASSOCIATE WITH product and order.

Before pairing two occurrences of entity types, you must make them available through a READ or CREATE statement. In general, you should read existing entities, then create entities with which they will be associated.

When the process logic diagram is complete, you have a picture outlining the process logic. You can use the results of this activity with Process Synthesis to generate the Process Action Diagram for a process. The Process Action Diagram logic contains all the required entity actions.
