Intended learning outcomes: Describe order data in sales, distribution, production, and procurement. Explain in detail master data for products and processes. Disclose extensions arising from the variant-oriented and the processor-oriented concepts. Produce an overview on the management of product and engineering data.
In Figure 17.0.0.1, the dark shaded box contains the logistical objects associated with the tasks and processes of the reference model for business processes and planning & control tasks in Figure 5.1.4.2.
Fig. 17.0.0.1 The subject covered in this chapter is shown against a darker background.
This chapter describes in detail the business objects introduced in Section 1.2 (order and master data), Section 11.1 (inventory), and Section 11.2 (statistics). The discussion is also structured from the viewpoint of an information system with a view to IT support. In addition, the chapter covers tasks that can be summarized as obtaining information from an information system using suitable queries.
