To enable the introduction of BaaN in this company in Spain, an interface system needs to be developed between BaaN and the local inventory management system DLx. An Oracle 9.2 database forms the basis. Within this Oracle database, processes (Oracle stored procedures) are implemented to automatically perform the data transfer between BaaN, the value added services system, EDI and the inventory management system. Furthermore, the returns processing and value added services applications are to be integrated into the new interface environment.
