Manage and fix the processing issues that occur during the fulfillment of a customer or service order. With Fallout Management, you can identify the order processing exceptions and create a fallout record to investigate and resolve the underlying processing issue. Fallout Management enables a customer or service order to continue until it's completed.

The Fallout Management data model extends the Task [task] table. The following table lists the attributes that apply to order fallout processing.
