A process extends manufacturing execution system (MES) functionalities in a domain having MES lineage contextualized entities (MLCEs) and commands. The process includes selecting a command implementing the functionality to be extended; contextualizing the command with a MLCE to obtain an entity contextualized command (ECC); extending the MLCE and the ECC, to obtain an extended MLCE (EMLCE) and an extended ECC (EECC); registering in the routing system a first and second handler of the command in association with the lineage of the MLCE and the EMLCE; and communicating between domains by delivering message(s) including a name of the command and the MLCE or the EMLCE, the routing system selecting the first or the second handler, for executing the functionality or the extended functionality, based on a mapping between the lineage registered for the first or the second handlers in the routing system, and a lineage derived from the message.
