Understanding Real-time Integration

This chapter covers the following topics:

• Understanding the Global Order Promising Business Infrastructure
• Understanding the Global Order Promising User Experience

Understanding the Global Order Promising Business Infrastructure

Global Order Promising (GOP) uses the Planning Collections process to collect information about the supply chain such as:

• Items

• Branches

• Customers

• Calendars

• Resources

• Routings/BOMs

• Inventory Levels

• Purchase Orders

• Work Orders

• Sales Orders

• Substitutions

• ATP Rules

Real-time messaging performs the following tasks between JDE E1 and GOP to retrieve the order promise date. This is a three step process that includes:

1. In Sales Order Entry, a JDE E1 user requests a promise date from GOP.

2. GOP messages the JDE E1 Sales Order Entry with the calculated promise date.

3. When the sales order is complete, JDE E1 sends a confirmation message make to GOP.

Understanding the Global Order Promising User Experience

After installing the appropriate software components, you must configure various real-time Order Promising components that includes:

1. Configure JDE Enterprise One for GOP.

   Additional Information: For additional information, see Configure JDE Enterprise One for GOP.

2. Configure VCP GOP for E1 Integration.

   Additional Information: For additional information, see Configure VCP GOP for JDE E1 Integration.

3. Configure the Web Server for E1:GOP Integration.

   Additional Information: For additional information, see Configuring the GOP Web Service Data Source.

After configuring these components, perform the following maintenance tasks

1. Create ATP Rules.

   ATP rules allow you to define order promising strategies and associate them with rules.

2. Maintain the fields associated with GOP on the Item Master/Branch (Tab 2: Value Chain Planning).

   • Constraints Flag (Item included in VCP)

   • Sellable

   • Check ATP

   • ATP Components

   • ATP Rule name

   • ATO Forecast Control

3. Maintain the following fields associated with GOP in the customer records:

   • Ship/Delivery Date

   • Back Orders Allowed

   • Substitutes Allowed

   • Partial Shipments Allowed

   • Partial Order Shipments Allowed

   Order inclusion rules must be set in order for a specific order type or line combination to be promisable. These tasks also require ongoing system maintenance.

During the Order Entry Process

1. Define the Order Promising options, in the Order Promising Overrides tab in Order Entry, the default value for these fields comes from the values set for the Customer.

   • Back Orders Allowed

   • Substitutes Allowed

   • Partial Shipments Allowed

   • Partial Order Shipments Allowed

2. Enter the Sales Order Header/Lines.

3. You can then request a Promise date by using Form Exit GLBL Order Promising.

   At this time, the JDE E1 Sales Order Entry application will pass the relevant information to GOP as GOP Query using BSSV JC34A010. GOP will then respond with the appropriate promise date(s).

4. You can then review the results, and potentially change some order details and repeat the Order Promising Query.

5. When the order is committed/save, JDE E1 calls GOP using BSSV J34AC010 in ReSchedule mode to update GOP with the final Order Information.

   The above is part of the JDE Sales Order Entry process.
