Description

e-ordering refers a number of business processes related to ordering good or services in a supply chain. To understand the concept of a business process, see Supply-chain business processes.

In the UBL standard, document types in these processes are Order, Order Response, Order Response Simple, Order Change, and Order Cancellation. The diagram below shows the business process that connects them:
