  IBusinessLinkProcess defines Business Process APIs related
  to Business Link completion status and expected completion dates.

  IMPORTANT:
  - explanation implicitely defines a subtree of the simulation
    Order, Order Line, Delivery or Delivery Line are simple cases
    which consider all children of delivery related movements
    + all parent simulation movement
    Applied rule is another form of explanation, which defines
    implicitely all children + all parent simulation movements

  - find a way in getTradePhaseMovementList to narrow down
    parameters to be copied (this used to be done through rule
    parameter in provivate method)

    getBusinessLinkValueList ? (for rules ?)
