Congestion management system for a customer-specific order entry system

The congestion management system is part of an order entry system from which the maintained information in the ordering process is taken. Several direct interfaces to different SAP systems enable the data exchange of material master data and rationing data. The system includes a worklist in which each clerk can monitor pending changes and promotions for his or her assigned assortment. In Detail Maintenance, it is possible to store data such as substitution articles, note texts, batch specifications, add-on articles and other material-related information for each material. The application also contains a large number of check lists and consistency checks to avoid inconsistent data statuses.
