Background Information

EndProduct

Caseflow creates one or more end products (EPs) in VBMS after completing an intake for a ClaimReview or establishing DecisionIssues.

Due to the asynchronous nature of creating an EP, Caseflow effectively stores and manages EndProductEstablishments (EPEs).

EndProductEstablishment

An EPE is a Caseflow model and abstraction layer over an EP that may not actually exist in VBMS yet.

When an EPE's status is "cleared", Caseflow loads its new rating issues and dispositions and uses these to create DecisionIssues.

Syncing decision issues (DIs) could result in the creation of more EPs. For example, if the DI's disposition is duty-to-assist (DTA) or difference-of-opinion (DOO) a SupplementalClaim](https://github.com/department-of-veterans-affairs/caseflow/wiki/Intake-Data-Model#supplementalclaim) will automatically be generated with an EP Code 040.
