Configure transition between state models

Create state model transitions to define valid paths between workflow states. State model transitions control how authorization packages move from one step to another and verify that packages follow the correct sequence through your workflow.

About this task

Table 1. Transition patterns

Transitions	Example
Forward transitions	Create forward transitions to move packages to the next step in the workflow sequence. For example, From Prepare (Order 1) - To Categorize (Order 2).
Backward transitions	Create backward transitions to enable packages to return to previous steps for corrections or updates. For example, From Categorize (Order 2) - To Prepare (Order 1).
