Move MR Business Logic out of Bean Class and into MBO

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

There seems to be business logic around Material Requisition status that is being executed in bean classes and not within the Maximo Business Object associated with MRs.


If a new MR is created in the Maximo UI and there is an active workflow on the MR object, the MR will be placed into a status of WAPPR and the workflow will be started.


If a new MR is created via integration and there is an active workflow on the MR object, the MR will be placed into APPR status (assuming the status is not supplied in the payload of the message) and the workflow will be ignored.


To re-create the logic of the Maximo UI using the Maximo JSON API, one must make separate HTTP calls to:

  1. Create the MR in DRAFT status

  2. Query the WFPROCESS object to see if there is an active workflow for the MR object

  3. Change the status of the MR to WAPPR if there is an active workflow (APPR if not)

  4. Start workflow on the MR if there is an active workflow (not needed if not)


It would be best if the logic for status on creation of a new MR were moved out of bean classes and into the MBO for the MR object. This way developers do not need to re-create business logic outside of what should be handled internally in Maximo.
