Abstract
An order management system is provided. The order management system creates the fulfillment flow, where the fulfillment flow does not include any fulfillment topology information. The order management system partitions an order into one or more order components using a decomposition sequence, where the decomposition sequence include one or more routing rules, where each routing rule includes fulfillment topology information, and wherein each routing rule determines a target fulfillment provider. The order management system generates an orchestration plan for the order by applying one or more dependencies of the fulfillment flow and the one or more routing rules to the one or more order components, wherein the orchestration plan includes the fulfillment topology information.
