iCal4j Template - Catalog

Templates for managing a product or service catalog.

Overview

A catalog is a common approach to providing products or services to customers. A catalog can be useful where you have a standard offering that is provisioned/fulfilled on a request basis. Orders can be placed by selecting Offers from the catalog, which are then fulfilled as part of a Workflow.

Offer

An Offer is a time-bounded catalog item that represents an available product or service offering. An Offer may also be a combination of other product/service offerings.

Order

An Order is similar to a Request, but it is a request for one or more standard offerings, or Offers.

Fulfilment

A Fulfilment is similar to a Task in that it represents some work to be performed, but is specifically constrained to the provisioning or fulfilment of an Order.
