    Hi Arpan,

    The state machine enables you to perform state transitions within the workflow without writing any additional code.

    This is not a new concept and has been around with other applications you can learn more from this link www.ni.com/.../en

    Thanks Faisal,

    I have 2 questions :

    1. State transaction means?

    2, It's only applicable for Workflow?

    Please give me more shed on this.

    Thanks!

    To learn what a state machine is general, look at Wikipedia: Finite state machine, for example. Note that you can find such information by yourself with the help of a search engine.

    The node in AX utilize the general (and usually well-understood) concept of state machine for workflow. You define which states your document can have and transition between which states are valid, and it will generate a class for this state machine for you.

    I don't know what you mean by a base class for state machines.

    To see an example, simply generate one. Why do you need me for that?

    Create a field holding the state of your document. Right-click the State Machines node and create a new state machine. Add and configure states (state kind, transitions). When you right-click your state machine and choose Generate, it will either generate a class implementing the state machine, or it will tell you which setup you're missing.
