The POMS templates defines a number of PRT regions for processing electronic orders. These are virtual regions because they contain virtual items, Orders, rather than physical regions that Product items are routed through.
Important: There is no
difference between virtual and physical regions in the PRT model.
The practical difference is that the transition point between one
virtual region and another must also be virtual, i.e., virtual
points set by mouse-clicks, scripts or system events.
The virtual order regions in any project based on the TBNG_POMS project template are:
|
