This first section deals with the flow of data using the transmission and receipt of transfer orders between WM and the external systems and includes descriptions of error handling and safety mechanisms. The second section discusses the technical implementation of the interface.

The description first of all explains how data is transferred to a external system and then how the data is received by the external system.

Data flow is described using the transmission and reception of transfer orders as an example. A transfer order forms the central medium within the warehouse management system with which materials are transferred from location A to location B. Search strategies etc. are executed in the system when the transfer order is generated.

The section which describes the various scenarios discusses how the generation of transfer orders is integrated in the interface concept from a business point of view.
