ProcessCatalog

OAGIS BOD combining the Process verb with the Catalog noun. Direct canonical equivalent of EDI EDIFACT PRICAT and X12 832 messages in OAGIS 10.x's Catalog domain.

BOD purpose

The ProcessCatalog BOD is the push inverse of GetCatalog: a supplier pushes a catalogue update to its ERP customers, with no need for them to query. Used for planned pricing updates (for example January 1st).

Structure (ApplicationArea + DataArea)

Like every OAGIS BOD, ProcessCatalog stacks an ApplicationArea technical envelope (Sender, BODID, CreationDateTime) and a business DataArea that contains the verb and the noun.

• Process verb with actionCode (Add, Update, Delete).
• CatalogHeader + CatalogItem with complete attributes.
