When to Use Process Synthesis

You may find that using Process Synthesis is faster and easier than building Action Diagrams from scratch or expanding expected effects. Process Synthesis looks at and uses entity types related to the subject entity type (the entity type upon which a generated process operates), creating the required views and action statements. Using related entity types (entity types with a direct relationship to the subject entity type) is especially helpful if the entity type being acted upon has multiple relationships.

Process Synthesis makes certain assumptions about your intentions based on the Data Model. In comparison, expanding expected effects makes no assumptions and offers you the possible choices. Sometimes you may prefer to expand expected effects because assumptions made by Process Synthesis may not be what you want.
