The Realized Operational Exchange wizard gives the instructions to follow when adding a new Operational Exchange or selecting one of the existing Operational Exchanges.

The Realized Operational Exchange wizard consists of two steps:


Operational Exchange creation (mandatory)

This step is designed to create a new Operational Exchange by specifying a Conveyed Item, both sending and receiving Operational Performers, and a direction of an Operational Exchange. Depending on a fact, if the selected Operational Performer is known or not, requested information differs:

  • If sending and receiving Operational Performers are unknown from the wizard invocation context, you need to specify both.
  • If sending and receiving Operational Performers are known, they are added to a Realized Operational Exchange wizard automatically.
