Systems

Purpose: Use the Systems screen to review or work with external databases or business entities that integrate with Order Broker for the Routing Engine (including, optionally, the Store Connect module) or Supplier Direct Fulfillment. For example, a system might be a database in Xstore or a company in Order Management System.

System relationships: See Organization, System, and Location for an overview of the data hierarchy in Order Broker, including products.

Options at this screen

Option	Procedure
create a system	Optionally, select a different organization from the Organization drop-down box. See Data Hierarchy for more information on how systems are integrated within organizations. Enter a system code in the System field. System codes can be 1 to 10 positions in length, can include spaces and special characters, and must be unique. Note: When creating the Store Connect system, you should not use a system code that begins with STC-, as these characters are used as part of the name for the user group in IDCS or OCI IAM. You can use STC_ (with an underscore rather than a hyphen) instead. Optionally, enter a name in the Name field. Names can be 1 to 40 positions in length and can include spaces and special characters. If you do not enter a name here, you need to enter it at the System screen when creating a system. Click New. If: the system already exists in the organization, or if you did not select an organization or enter a System code, Order Broker displays an error message; otherwise, you advance to the System screen, where you can complete the creation of the system. The Organization Default flag is selected when you create the first system for an organization, and the flag cannot be unselected at this time. To designate a different system as the default, you need to create another system and flag that system as the default; this unflags the first system. Note: If you click Cancel at the System screen after clicking New, the system is not created. Order Management System integration: The code representing the Order Management System system must match the setting of the OROB System (K50) system control value.
search for a system	Use any combination of the fields at the top of the screen to restrict the search results to matching systems: Optionally, select a different organization from the from the Organization drop-down box to restrict your results to this organization. Note: You can select a blank organization to remove this field from your selection criteria. Enter a full or partial system code in the System field to restrict your results to system codes starting with your entry. Enter a full or partial name in the Name field to restrict your results to systems whose names contain your entry. Click Search. Case: The System and Name are case-sensitive for searching; for example, an entry of p does not match a system code of POS.
select a system for review or maintenance	Click the edit icon () to advance to the System screen. Note: If the System screen is already open in another tab, you advance to that screen, where the previously-selected system is displayed.
