A business object model, which reflects data that is used during a given business transaction, is utilized to generate interfaces. This business object model facilitates commercial transactions by providing consistent interfaces that are suitable for use across industries, across businesses, and across different departments within a business during a business transaction. In some operations, software creates, updates, or otherwise processes information related to a goods tag, a production bill of material hierarchy, and/or a release order template business object.

Managing consistent interfaces for goods tag, production bill of material hierarchy, and release order template business objects across heterogeneous systems

Methods and apparatus, including systems and computer program products, for a service architecture design that provides enterprise services having logistics execution functionality at the level of an enterprise application. The design includes a set of service operations, process components, and optionally deployment units. Suitable business objects are also described.

Providing logistics execution application as enterprise services

A method to be performed in a procedure of manufacturing a product includes receiving, in a computer system, a request to initiate a manufacturing procedure including at least a first physical operation modeled as a manufacturing-type operation in the computer system and a second physical operation modeled as a warehouse-type operation in the computer system. Information to be used in the manufacturing procedure, identifying the manufacturing-type operation and the warehouse-type operation, is generated in response to the request. Using the information, the manufacturing procedure including the first and second physical operations is initiated. A post-manufacturing procedure for a product can include a manufacturing-type operation and a warehouse-type operation. A computer system includes an operation management module for managing a manufacturing-type operation and a warehouse-type operation. The computer system includes initiation components for initiating the operations.

Generating information for use in performing physical operations

A method to be performed in a process of a computer system initiating physical operations includes receiving, in a computer system, a request to generate a first object and a second object. The first object is to be used in initiating a manufacturing-type operation and the second object is to be used in initiating a warehouse-type operation. The method includes generating the first object and the second object in response to the request. The first and second objects are generated using an object model for physical operations. A computer system includes a first resource and a second resource, and an object generating module configured to generate the first and second objects.
