Workflow in Dynamics AX 2009 : Workflow Life Cycle (part 1) - State Model

A state model defines a set of states and the transitions that are permitted between the different states for a given record type, along with an initial state and a final state. The reason state models exist is to provide a very prescriptive life cycle for whatever data they are associated to. The current state value is often stored in a field on a record.

Workflow in Dynamics AX 2009 : Workflow Architecture

The first assumption reflects the fact that most business logic resides and is executed in the AOS. The second assumption was based on the opportunity to use existing Microsoft technology for executing workflows in Dynamics AX 2009 instead of designing and implementing this functionality from scratch.
