Turn to an article by our manager to discuss business process implementation. I hope you can brainstorm.

Now, you can search for business process management with a lot of information and many products claim to be business process management systems. However, in my opinion, this is not the case, it can only be said that some products only implement a segment in a business flow, such as the approval flow, state machine, and a document process.

What should I do if I want to implement multiple documents, such as a complete process from application, order, invoice, pick-up, warehouse picking, and credential? How to use business flow management. The business flow system automatically assigns tasks according to the rules system and the persons involved in the process complete the tasks. This feature requires that the business flow rules can be defined and foreseen. However, the actual business requires that subsequent business can only be determined when the business occurs. There is a conflict here. How can this conflict be solved.

The first thing that comes to mind is the splitting and merging of business flow process instances. The process corresponds to the business object instances one by one. There are many business objects in the business flow, there is a possibility of splitting and merging between instances of each business object. If the data of the object instance is merged, the process instance also needs to be merged. If the data of the object instance is split, the process instance also needs to be split.

The second way to think of it is to start a process instance with detailed instance data. Here we still need to solve a problem, that is, the processing of each link is based on one business instance, to map detailed data to a process instance, you need to provide the group processing function, that is, to combine a group of task items into a task, and to complete a batch of tasks after processing the task.

The third approach is not to use the principles of business flow. That is, the complete process of a document uses a business flow system. Several documents use an integrated stream to process the transfer between several documents.

Although there are many ways, what is the best way?
