Workflow Config for property create if the source is from WATER CONNECTION module
For the creation of property from the water and sewerage module, as per the use case mentioned in this ticket, a different workflow config is used.
For each use case, to identify which workflow to use can be identified from this mdms file.
For use case 1 which says, The property which is creating from Water and sewerage module should have one step workflow.
for this requirement in the above MDMS file businessService with PT.CREATEWITHWNS object must have enabled the field to set as true.
Then for all the property creation from Water and Sewerage module would have one step workflow and property would be created with an ACTIVE state.
