Write 3
Create, change or send.
Create a record
Creates a record through a custom OData service from its fields, with child records nested (a sales order with its Item lines, a customer with its AddressInformation).
Update a record
Changes fields of one record of a custom OData service by its ObjectID.
Run an action
Calls a function import of a custom OData service, like khsalesorder SalesOrderRelease, khopportunity Win, khcustomerinvoice Release or khpurchaseorder SubmitForOrder.
A person can approve first
Any write action can be set to wait for a person's approval before it runs, so an agent asks before it changes anything.
