Salesforce Certified Order Management Administrator Practice Test - Questions Answers, Page 9

The Order Summary object is a custom object that stores information about an order, such as the total amount, the number of items, and the fulfillment status. The Order Summary object is created by a process called Create Order Summary Process, which runs whenever an order is created or updated. The process calls a flow called Create OrderSummary Flow, which calculates the order summary fields and creates or updates the order summary record. The process and the flow are part of the Order Management package and must be installed and activated for the order summary object to be created.

The Single Location High Volume sample flow and the Multiple Locations sample flow are two examples of how to implement order fulfillment with Order Management. The Single Location High Volume sample flow is optimized for performance and scalability, but it only supports one fulfillment location per order. The Multiple Locations sample flow supports multiple fulfillment locations per order, but it has lower performance and scalability. To support both high volume and multiple locations, an admin can download both sample flows from the Partner Community and make a blend between them, considering trade-offs such as complexity, maintainability, and customizability.

When building a flow for multiple locations, an administrator should consider the following challenges:

Multiple locations will introduce nested loops which can make the canvas substantially larger. For example, a flow that handles multiple fulfillment orders per order and multiple fulfillment order lines per fulfillment order will need to loop through both levels of records. This can make the flow more complex and harder to maintain.

Multiple locations can lead to limit exceptions. For example, a flow that queries or updates a large number of records across multiple locations may hit the SOQL query limit or the DML statement limit. To avoid this, an administrator should use bulkified actions and optimize the flow performance.

The main types of building blocks when working in Flow Builder are:

Elements: These are the components that define the logic and functionality of a flow. Elements include actions, assignments, decisions, loops, screens, subflows, and waits.

Resources: These are the variables, constants, formulas, collections, and record choice sets that store data in a flow. Resources can be used as inputs or outputs for elements.

Connectors: These are the arrows that connect elements and resources in a flow. Connectors determine the sequence and direction of the flow execution.
