Systems to connect

  • Design authoring and document repository. Agree a connection to your chosen design source when needed. Identify the submitted file, revision and document type and preserve its attribution for review.
  • Customer order source. Map customer identity and item lines if demand arrives from another system. Agree who maintains Approved demand before the production release action checks it.
  • Supplier purchasing or receiving source. Agree the supplier and item mapping, ordered and received quantities and source identity. Reconcile incoming stock through the receiving procedure your team adopts.
  • Shop-floor evidence source. Configure interval submissions when another tool supplies start, end or output quantities. Resolve the person’s account mapping and test refused input before enabling machine submissions.
  • Finance system. Agree an export connection when finance needs operating quantities. Set valuation and acknowledgment ownership with the finance team and retain the source identity used for reconciliation.

How connections are governed

Choose connections around the operating work your team needs. Agree the source owner and permitted actions before activation, and keep credentials in the approved secret store. Imported updates must follow the required engineering decision, material check and batch acceptance responsibilities.

Rehearse a repeated request, changed source input and unavailable provider using the chosen connection’s contract. Keep successful local stock effects separate from external delivery so a delivery retry cannot repeat a material deduction or accepted receipt. Resolve an uncertain result against the original source identity before sending it again.

Plan implementation around the connections your team will actually operate.
