Centralization of international order shipment

The purchase orders, which are generated in enterprise resource planning systems in various countries, are to be transferred to a central converter, from where they are forwarded to suppliers in any format or ordering method. The order excess via X.400 is to be extended at the same time. The most important aim of the new converter version is to design the use of ordering methods, formats, languages and character sets more flexibly and to control the content of the source documents according to the country, language, order type and other parameters. It is not possible to generate source documents in multiple languages and character sets in the standard system with the converter that is currently used. However, this is urgently necessary because some of the suppliers are country-specific. In order to cover the additional requirements of international, centralized processing of order shipment, comprehensive, customer-specific enhancements are developed for the converter on the basis of Perl and PHP 5.
