The general philosophy of the logistics interface module is to implement the following main processes:

• A logistics information extraction process (adaptable for proprietary formats)
• An impact analysis process against the CSDB’s document base.
• A process for generating actions (creating, updating, deleting) to be carried out according to the impacts of the analyzed data.
• A process for performing all the identified actions.

The user can view the action and the content of the update before the CSDB impact process is initiated.

The application provides the following settings:

• Validation on input data with XSL or Schematron sheets.
• Extraction of input data using XQUERY to convert to the pivot format in data unit.
• Processing of DMs in accordance with their content type; DMs are updated with information (data units) from logistics.
• Configuration of DM models and data units..

When importing from S3000L exchange data, the module is based
on the «Task to Proceed» and «Part to IPD» model.
