An order record associated with a model or commercial party. It provides a context for tracking the units or vendor connected to that order.
When to use it
Use it when order-related information needs to be managed.
Key information
- The record identifier distinguishes this Order from other records. Check the identity before connecting or using it.
- Name identifies the record in lists and connected information. Use a clear name that reflects its purpose.
- Description explains the record’s scope and gives readers the context needed to use it.
Common relationships
- Order (Non-structure): Connects a Model to an associated Order.
- Order Vendor (Non-structure): Connects an Order to the Vendor or Supplier associated with it.
- Unit (Non-structure): Connects an Order or Model to an individual Unit associated with it.
Working with this record
Describe the order context and confirm the intended model, commercial party, and individual units. Check connected records rather than assuming an order connection creates or manufactures the units.
Example
Order O-100 records a request for two pump units of Model P-100.
Choosing the right type
Choose Order for an order context. Model defines the offering, Unit identifies an individual product unit, and Vendor identifies the commercial party.
