Application Considerations - Back-to-Back Order Systems


Many companies will work a back-to-back system whereby purchase orders are generated
from the original sales orders. Whilst this is not an XML issue as such, there are system
issues, such as:

Is the supplier to be captured at sales input stage, or derived subsequently?

If there are several suppliers for the same product, how is the correct supplier code
derived from your stock code and the chosen supplier?

Are purchase orders to be consolidated by supplier, or placed per sales order?

If consolidating purchase orders, how will you distinguish and separate purchase
orders for direct delivery to clients by your supplier, if this service is offered?

Special deals (see prior section) at special prices may have to be placed independently
of XML. How will you ensure that they are not duplicated accidentally by XML?
