Request sequence

Shop customers can request, renew, and unsubscribe products as soon as an IT Shop solution is set up. Use the Web Portal to do this. Furthermore, requests, and cancellations are approved in the Web Portal. You can make an overview of pending and closed requests for yourself. You can also find an overview of pending and closed requests in the Manager The status of pending requests is checked regularly by the DBQueue Processor. The review is started by the IT Shop check schedule.

Requests can have a limited time period, which means the requested product assignment is only valid with the validity period.

General request sequence

  1. A customer places a request in the Web Portal for:

    1. A product.

      - OR -

    2. Membership of a hierarchical role.

      - OR -

    3. The assignment of a company resource to a hierarchical role.

  2. The request goes through the assigned approval process.

  3. If the request has been granted approval and the Valid from date has been reached:

    1. The product is assigned to the customer. The company resource associated with the product is assigned indirectly to the customer.

      - OR -

    2. The customer becomes a secondary member of the hierarchical role.

      - OR -

    3. The company resource is assigned to the hierarchical role.

    The request contains the Assigned status (PersonWantsOrg.OrderState = 'Assigned').

    The product/membership/assignment remains until it is canceled.

Requests and the resulting assignments are displayed in the following table:

General cancellation sequence

  1. A customer cancels a product/membership/assignment in the Web Portal.

    - OR -

    A requested product/requested membership/requested assignment is automatically unsubscribed.

  2. The cancellation goes through the assigned approval process.

  3. If cancellation was granted approval and the expiry date has been reached:

    1. The product's assignment is removed. The product's assigned to the associated company resource is also removed.

      - OR -

    2. The customer’s membership of the hierarchical role is removed.

      - OR -

    3. The company resource's assignment to the hierarchical role is removed.

    The request contains the Unsubscribed status (PersonWantsOrg.OrderSTate = 'Unsubscribed').

If a customer is removed from a shop, existing requests for this are closed. The products are unsubscribed and assignments are removed. If the customer changes to another shop, the product requests can be retained under certain circumstances. If the request is an assignment request, it can also be retained under certain circumstances, even if the requester is no longer a customer in the shop.
