Calculated Start Date
We know that for Future Dated orders, OSM does not start the "ProvisionOrderFunction" component unless the expected start date becomes due. So when Sales order is submitted from Siebel CRM and OSM sees the "RequestedDeliveryDateTime" is a future date, OSM generates the orchestration plan and creates an order but does not start it. This is the default OSM behavior and is working as expected
We have a scenario where for certain internet service types, we would like OSM order to start and create the provision order even though its future dated. As per Design Studio documentation, disabling "Use Calculate Start Date" setting on the component will let OSM ignore the requested due date and start the component thereby allowing creating of provision order possible. Working on this premise, we created a new function component "ProvisionCLASSOrderFunction" extending "COM_ProvisionFunction" and
