                              The details of a net decomposition (i.e., its label and variables) can be set
                           up through the Update net detail... dialogue, under the Net menu, whereas task
                           decompositions can be created via the Select Task Decomposition dialogue and
                           modified via the Task Decomposition detail..., both available from the task’s context-
                           menu. Figure 8.7 shows the decomposition of task Create Purchase Order.Here

                           the purchase order manager, while POrder has been assigned the complex type
                           PurchaseOrderType as defined in Fig. 8.6.
