SyncWarehouse — Warehouse reference

OAGIS BOD combining the verb Sync and the noun Warehouse. Business cornerstone of the logistics domain in the OAGIS 10.x ecosystem.

BOD purpose

The SyncWarehouse BOD broadcasts the warehouse reference data: sites, zones, locations, capacities. Issued from the master system (usually the ERP or WMS) to all consumers (TMS, ERP, BI). Master-data building block of the logistics domain.

Structure (ApplicationArea + DataArea)

As every OAGIS BOD, SyncWarehouse stacks an ApplicationArea technical envelope (Sender, BODID, CreationDateTime) and a DataArea business payload containing the verb Sync and the noun Warehouse.

XML example

Minimal OAGIS 10.x payload for didactic purposes. The structural elements (header + business line) are required in any conformant implementation.

EDI equivalents

No direct EDI counterpart on the gateway: this BOD is strictly internal to the OAGIS / ERP ecosystem, with no openly standardised EDIFACT or X12 counterpart.
