Would you embrace services that the ERP system has developed for data CRUD operations or just deal with the direct tables yourself?
My ERP is named LN by InFor. They are a larger version of Stage buying up all the accounting systems lately. Last year we upgraded our ERP to a recent version and it now includes services to do CRUD as well as message on any reason as well as workflow up a chain of command. It is all XML text in a table. You read it or write it and the system does what is expected. <wink wink> The list of tables in this "system" is enormus, 800-1000 I believe. Presently we do Sales Orders and limited inventory, for an erp that is, as well as a robust GL and accounting environment. I am planning on pushing Demand data into the ERP next via all inbound EDI POs. Would you write to 30+ tables or would you write the XML to one? -- Stephen Russell Sr. Analyst Ring Container Technology Oakland TN 901.246-0159 cell --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/cajidmykykbf8ka9x5hjtr7mxwxunafw-7o-wn-_tupw1kqm...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
