File exports from SAP Retail are the starting point for planning data. The VB6 system uses these for forecasts, the results of which are transferred to the SAP ordering process using a file exchange procedure. Data is stored in a dedicated SQL Server 2000 database. In addition, master data (also stored in an SQL Server 2000) is used for articles and branches, which are also made available for other individual systems.
