RetailerRetailer SupplierSupplier

DemonstrationBusiness Flow

Consumer places a purchase order from a retailer’s B2C ecommerce site (MS Commerce Server)

MS CS will send XML purchase order send to the Supplier’s BizTalk Server through Internet

BizTalk Server transform the XML PO into ERP PO and send to the ERP thru COM

ERP will generate a PO ACK to BizTalk Server

DemonstrationBusiness Flow (Cont’d)

BizTalk Server transforms the ERP PO ACK to an XML PO ACK and send it back to retailer’s web site

BizTalk server send email/voice PO ACK to customer through SMTP/mobile-network

BizTalk server also requests the warehouse management system for shipping


XML Picking Ticket will be sent from WMS to the wireless picking device (PocketPC) thru BizTalk/MSMQ

Inventory picked via PPC and sends XML PICK ACK back to WMS thru BizTalk/MSMQ


WMS generates XML ASN and send to BizTalk server

BizTalk Server transforms the XML ASN to ERP Shipment complete and updates the Scala ERP

BizTalk Server forwards the XML ASN to retailer’s web site after transformations

BizTalk Server sends email/voice ASN to consumer
