  • Architecture and techniques for providing product configurations to an enterprise resource planner
    Publication number: 20020099583
    Abstract: A custom front-end for order entry and pricing with straight-forward integration to a conventional enterprise resource planning (ERP) system allows integration between the custom front-end and the existing ERP system in a straightforward manner without the need to modify the ERP system source code or other functionality. Order-specific data is stored in custom tables created under the ERP database while using standard ERP application classification for maintaining the link to the ERP object and the custom configuration. Custom function modules enable the dynamic transfer of data between the order specific data and the native ERP variant configuration module. The tables provide a middle ground between the ERP application and any number of custom front end interfaces such as web-based applications accessible via intranets and/or the Internet.
