Why Document Process WF starts docstatus new WF Process ?

[norber...@multimageweb.com]

hi,

We found strange WF with Document Process Type starts new WF process and create his activities on each document status changes, an example: 

1. Create S/O (header, lines)

2. Prepare It (review idempiere creates 1st WF process with 2 nodes (Start)++(DocAuto) both are completed )

3. Complete it (review idempiere creates 2nd WF process with 3 nodes (Start)+(DocPrepare)+(DocComplete) each are completed)

4. Close it (review idempiere created 3th WF process with 2 nodes (Start)++(DocAuto) both are completed

we want to setup the next process: Create a sales order step 2. prepare it, then as 3. complete it then 4. close it automatically by - wait schedule e.g. 7 days https://idempiere.atlassian.net/browse/IDEMPIERE-2022. This is a simple 4 steps process and want to see overview of it.

i'm  wondering would be logical to improve this to not start on each status changes new WF process or it is mandatory. What is the reason the described behaviour ?

remark: Document Value Process know this - starts only once a workflow (created=updated)
