Use-Cases:

Let us consider the following scenarios with the enhanced configuration. 

  1. The following scenario with Immediate execution and NO condition. 
    There are five workorders executed in the following sequence:

    Use Case 1:

    • Upon completion of WO1 named as User Creation, 
      WO2 named as Bank Account and WO3 named as HR Account Creation is executed.
    • Upon Completion of WO2 named Bank Account and WO3 named HR Account Creation, 
      WO4 named Cubicle Allotment is executed.
    • Upon completion of WO4 named Cubicle Allotment 
      WO5 ID card Issue is executed.
       


      Figure: Parallel to Series Use Case 

      Note: Only on completion of Parent WO the child WO is executed.
  2. If the Time of creation varies for different WOs and the Condition is set to No, this use case will execute successfully. There are five Work Orders executed in the following sequence. 

    Use Case 2:

    • Upon completion of WO1 named as User Creation, 
      WO2 named as Bank Account and WO3 named as HR Account is executed successfully. 
       
      Example: Suppose the employee's date of Joining is 1h June. 
      WO1 will get created on June 15th +2 days June 17th, 
      and the actual creation of WO2 will be June 15th +1 day = 16th  June,  
      as the WO1 creation date is greater than WO2, the system will wait for the creation of WO1 and when the WO1 is getting resolved then based upon the scheduled date it will immediately create the WO2 as the WO1 is completed. 
       
    • Upon creation and execution of WO2 named Bank Account and WO3 named HR Account Creation, 
      WO4 named Cubicle Allotment is executed. 
       
      Example: WO2 will get created on June 15th + 1 day = 16th June,and 
      WO3 will be created immediately and executed on June 15th.  
      However, WO4 will have to wait for WO2 to complete though WO3 is completed. 
      WO4 is created immediately and executed after resolving WO2 on 16th June. 
       
    • Upon completion of WO4 named Cubicle Allotment 
      WO5 ID card Issue is executed. 


      Figure: Parallel to Series Use Case

      Note: Parent-child relationship mapping should meet to process of the Work order.

  3. The following scenario explains if the Parent Workorder does not meet the condition, the resolution of the current parent Workorder and the creation of the sequenced Workorder will not happen. 

    Use Case 3:

    • WO2 named as Bank Account does not meet the condition and WO3 named HR Account creation is created successfully, 
      WO4 will not be created as the Parent WO2 has failed to resolve. Hence WO5 will not be created as well.


      Figure: Parallel to Series Use Case

      Note: if Auto Resolve SR using the last work order is configured at the catalog level, then the SR will get resolve while resolving the WO3.
