how can I best show a bunch of checks that are done during item search in an e-commerce system with the result for the dealer to be able to buy or not the item?
They are executed in a couple of loops and in between occur some exceptions, which means a loop maybe will be executed, if some conditions are met and maybe the 2nd loop will be executed as well or not..
It is a bit hard to explain it in written form, I hope that you get the idea.
I would really appreciate some solid opinions/solutions.
Thank you in advance

Sequence diagram is an usual answer no ? See sequences diagrmes They contain :
"if" which are opt combined fragment
"if else" which are alt combined fragment
