About the framework
Review the routes an order can take
This e-commerce order example contains nine status nodes and one Payment OK? decision. The main route goes from Order Placed through Confirmed and the payment check to Processing, Shipped, and Delivered. Failed payment branches to Payment Failed.
Cancel links leave both Order Placed and Confirmed. Delivered can lead to Return Requested and then Refunded. The drawing uses ordinary shapes and labeled connectors; it does not define a full state-machine specification or every possible order outcome. Payment retries, cancellation after processing, partial shipments, and return rejection are absent.
Adapt the diagram around the transitions your order system actually permits. Add an event or condition to each link and decide which role or system can trigger it. Separate a refund request from a completed refund if that distinction matters in your workflow.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions
Can an order be cancelled after it enters Processing?
No such link appears in the example. Add it only if your workflow permits that transition, and specify the conditions.
Does Payment Failed have a retry route?
No. It is an endpoint in the supplied drawing. Add a retry transition if customers can attempt payment again.
Is every delivered order final?
The sample allows a Delivered order to move to Return Requested and then Refunded. It does not include return approval or rejection decisions.
