- 18. 21 Oktoberi200318 The Value Of Document Oriented Integration " Document oriented integration covers business transactions in XML documents and therefore reflect the well proven and established business processes which are today mainly based on paper documents. Examples: # SAP change request for materials, customers etc. # SAP material information sheet to add materials. # FSA Service Report used for invoices, loan calculation or logistics " Dealing with documents over the overall business process chain, limits the effort for # Maintaining procedure oriented interfaces due to changed data layouts or due to adding more system components # Using the same system for other business channels/scenarios (TCO) # Allows a revisable tracking and archiving of business transactions # Offer the chance to re-book an erroneous entry (logical step), compared to having only the result and the per back end system database transactions in place. # Handling conflicts, even for synchronization
