Data procurement for document issue

Identifying the necessary data from the inventory system and creating the XML interface are two asynchronous processes in data procurement. The first process stores the data in a simple internal format. A further process converts the internally stored data into XML format. An application makes it possible to view and edit the access paths and the form of XML output. This information is evaluated in data procurement during runtime. The subsystem can also manage print orders without active data procurement. This subsystem uses applications that can identify the print data themselves but which leave the task of generating documents to a standard product.
