BPCS/LX Tip of the Week: Web Services
Web Services can be very helpful for LX users to obtain updated information directly from the source, for example:
- LX users can use a web service to request a stock check on an item for which they are going to issue a purchase order. Users can get item availability and updated pricing before placing the order.
- LX users can also use a web service to get real time shipping charges from UPS, Fed Ex, etc. Once the user selects the appropriate freight charge, it can be added to the customer order while the order is being placed over the phone.
