General
  • Multiple Job types can exist in the system, but each one should have a unique name and alternative code.
  • If the Fulfilment scope is New Subscription:
    • Only one billing term is allowed to be specified, which is also the default billing term scheme
    • The available billing term schemes are filtered based on the selected subscription type.

 

A Job type can be used by users only if they are included in the allowed organisational units.

  • All mandatory fields must be provided
  • At least one status per each job life cycle state should be specified in allowed statuses
  • Communication Settings -

    • Any entity status included in Status Transitions of an Entity Type is also included in the Entity Type's Allowed Statuses.
    • There is one Status Transition within the Entity Type's status transitions for each one of the Entity Type's Allowed Statuses which are not considered as final statuses. (i.e. Completed)
    • There are no Status Transitions related to an initial status (i.e. Draft) which in its turn is related to a final life cycle state of an entity.
    • There are no duplicate entity statuses either among the initial status in the Status Transitions or among the destination statuses.
    • The same Status cannot exist as the initial and the destination status of a Status Transition.
    • The Entity's life cycle state restrictions are aligned with the status transitions. This means that the available destination statuses must be related to the exact subsequent life cycle state compared to the initial status's related life cycle state.
    • There should be one Status Transition for each available Life cycle state transition, i.e. a Status Transition with an initial state related to the initial life cycle state of the entity and a destination status having a life cycle state which follows the state of the initial status. For such Status Transitions, there should be only one destination status. Multiple destination statuses can still be configured but only if they have distinct Allowed organizational units.
  • If the Billing Directive is Billable:
    • Billing Term Scheme must be added and a default one must be selected
