Order Workflow State Machine

Overview

The order workflow state machine diagram maps the lifecycle of WorkflowEntityBase — from initial Draft through Submitted, Approved, and Completed states, with branching to Rejected or Cancelled. Each transition is labeled with the triggering event and responsible actor.

Key takeaways

• Draft is the default initial state — no business rules apply until submission
• Approved requires a manager decision; both approve and reject paths exist
• Cancelled can be triggered by either the applicant or an approver
• The FlowState field tracks workflow engine state independently of Status
