The Application of Multiple independent software will certainly involve the direct data connection between different software. The electronic procurement system applied in this plan also encountered this problem. During this night, we will discuss with you the problem of inter-System Data Interconnection.
For historical reasons, the financial system of the original application is deployed in a distributed manner, and each system is directly independent. Although data is uploaded to the headquarters on a daily basis, it is not summarized in a centralized manner. What's more important is that the encoding of the original systems is not even uniform and independent. In the past few years, we also specially conducted a unified coding task to unify the encoding. However, it is difficult to add and maintain codes in the future.
Because there is no centralized data encoding, interface development between different systems will also have many problems. For example, inconsistent material codes between the two systems will lead to data confusion.
The electronic procurement system is connected with the inventory system. In an intuitive sense, you can transmit the procurement order information to the inventory system as a reference for warehouse receiving, and you can control the number of warehouse receiving orders without unnecessary orders. Because the original inventory system has achieved data interconnection with the financial system, there is no need for the procurement system to directly exchange data with the financial system.
For more in-depth data interaction, in addition to the above order information transmission, you can also pass the Invoice Information and payable information to the financial system.
The above points are the parts that may involve data association in various software. Whether this is really necessary depends on the actual needs.
The most urgent task is to establish a centralized data management module for Data Control and unified management of codes. Each business system can have evidence to follow and communicate with each other using common information standards, for example, people who speak different languages must use the same language to understand each other.
