C Appendix – Routing External Originating Transaction to SIOCS

There are some transactions originating from supplier (Purchase Order Shipments) or Warehouse Management Systems (Warehouse to Store Shipments or Stock Order Status) that must be subscribed to by both Merchandising and SIOCS. Merchandising and SIOCS provides their own ReST services to consume this information, and the caller invokes both Merchandising and SIOCS services.

With Direct DB integration, this integration pattern is simplified, and the client can choose to only call the Merchandising ReST Service and Merchandising will route the message to SIOCS if the system option to route the message is enabled. The client should not call a SIOCS-specific ReST Service if routing is done through Merchandising.
