Sending goods
When a Franchiser wants to send goods to a Franchiser (push), the Franchiser must raise a Sales Order for the goods.
When the Sales Order is shipped or invoiced, an Outbound Sales Order message is created in the Outbound buffer tables in the Franchiser database.
The Scheduler uses the Data Director to copy the Outbound Buffer message from the Franchiser to the Inbound Buffer tables in the Franchisee database.
A process in the Franchisee database creates a Purchase Order from the Inbound Buffer message and moves the message to the Archived Inbound message tables.
Receiving goods
If a Franchiser wants to recall goods from a Franchisee, the Franchiser must create a Sales Return Order.
When the Sales Return Order has been created, the Franchiser must select the Send to Franchisee menu option on the Sales Return Order.
This creates an Outbound Buffer Message in the Franchiser Database.
Scheduler uses the Data Director to copy the Outbound Buffer message from the Franchiser to the Inbound Buffer tables in the Franchisee database.
A process in the Franchisee database creates a Return Purchase Order from the Inbound Buffer message and moves the message to the Archived Inbound message tables.
