Data concept

The interface definition is based on SlimStock document: Slim4 standard interface project initiation document V1.1.

 

 

 The interface creates export ASCII files from Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations to Slim4:

• Transaction history
• Inventory
• Open demand
• Open supply
• Additional user defined item information (optional)
• Generic and variant data (optional)

Slim4 analyzes this data, required service levels etc. and calculates seasonal patterns, optimal inventory levels, and proposes:

• planned purchase orders and
• planned transfer orders and
• planned production orders

The interface imports ASCII files with these planned orders from Slim4 into Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations .
