Of course, to do that well, you need a clear understanding of your required business processes (typically a role led by the client) and individuals who can understand those required business processes and design / configure the application accordingly (typically a role led by the OTM functional team).
If you want to kick start your understanding of the application, my advice would be to first get to grips with the different objects (order base, order release, shipment, invoice, etc) and the relationship between them which is typically guided by automation agents. |
Hi,
We’ve also just started with design to implement OTM. I have been searching everywhere for business processes, but with no luck.
I also have been told that there is no standard business processes by the SI and did not believe them. Then I stumbled across this forum and I again see the statement that there is none or that the documentation just does not exist.
But surely there must be high level overviews of how OTM or G-Log is configured as a “vanilla” version and what most organizations believe to be best business practises. Doesn’t matter what logistics company you’re in – the process starts with a request from a customer to move cargo and the process ends with a delivery at a destination.
OTM or G-Log has to have some sort of standard logic on how it handles the supply chain processes. Otherwise everybody ends up with a hugely customised version of the system that will be very difficult to maintain thru future upgrades and maintenance.
Or am I wrong?
So my question is where do I find this information?
