Information Flow
About Information Flow
Information flows to and from the ERP Integration database in the form of messages, which contain JSON, B2MML, and XML files. JSON files contain the following types of messages:
- Work orders: Specified in a work order import document (WOID).
- Process orders: Specified in a process order import document (POID).
- Materials: Specified in a material master import document (MMID).
After you connect the ERP system to the ERP Integration database, the ERP systems add the messages to the ERP Integration database. The ERP Integration services then import the messages into the Plant Applications database and update the status of the messages in the ERP Integration database.
