Abstract: An order management system is provided. The order management system receives an order that includes one or more order lines, fulfillment topology data, and fulfillment flow data. The order management system generates one or more first order components from the order, the fulfillment topology data, and the fulfillment flow data based on a first criteria, where the first criteria is based on a first stage of a decomposition sequence, where the decomposition sequence comprises one or more stages. The order management system determines which of the one or more first order components each order line of the order is to be applied to, based on the first criteria. The order management system stores each order line of the order at each of the determined one or more first order components.

Abstract: An order management system is provided. The order management system receives one or more order components. The order management system maps each order line of one or more order lines to a fulfillment pattern. The order management system creates a fulfillment flow by combining one or more fulfillment patterns. The order management system generates an orchestration plan by applying one or more dependencies of the fulfillment flow to the one or more order components. The one or more dependencies of the fulfillment flow are translated into one or more order line dependencies between the one or more order lines of the one or more order components. Each order line dependency is at a completion of a fulfillment function of the order line.

Abstract: An order management system is provided. The order management system creates the fulfillment flow, where the fulfillment flow does not include any fulfillment topology information. The order management system partitions an order into one or more order components using a decomposition sequence, where the decomposition sequence include one or more routing rules, where each routing rule includes fulfillment topology information, and wherein each routing rule determines a target fulfillment provider. The order management system generates an orchestration plan for the order by applying one or more dependencies of the fulfillment flow and the one or more routing rules to the one or more order components, wherein the orchestration plan includes the fulfillment topology information.

Abstract: An order management system is provided. The order management system receives a provisioning order, where the provisioning order includes at least one order line, and where the at least one order line of the provisioning order references a product specification. The order management system transforms the provisioning order into a service order, where the service order includes at least one order line, and where at least one order line of the service order references a customer-facing service specification. The order management system transforms the service order into a technical order, where the technical order includes at least one order line, and where at least one order line of the service order references one of: a resource-facing service specification; or a resource. Thus, the order management system can define a customer-facing service that is not coupled to a technical implementation, nor coupled to a product offering.
