SyncProductionDefinition — Production definition

OAGIS BOD combining the verb Sync and the noun ProductionDefinition. Business cornerstone of the manufacturing domain in the OAGIS 10.x ecosystem.

BOD purpose

The SyncProductionDefinition BOD broadcasts the technical definition of a producible item — routing, sequence of operations, required machines — from the design system (PLM, CAPE) to the executors (MES, ERP). It is a master-data BOD: it publishes a shared canonical reference.

Structure (ApplicationArea + DataArea)

As every OAGIS BOD, SyncProductionDefinition stacks an ApplicationArea technical envelope (Sender, BODID, CreationDateTime) and a DataArea business payload containing the verb Sync and the noun ProductionDefinition.

XML example

Minimal OAGIS 10.x payload for didactic purposes. The structural elements (header + business line) are required in any conformant implementation.

Use case

Schneider Electric pushes from Teamcenter (PLM) to its 14 MES via SyncProductionDefinition the production definition of the new C60SP circuit breaker family: 7 operations, 3 machines, standard times to the second.

EDI equivalents

No direct EDI counterpart on the gateway: this BOD is strictly internal to the OAGIS / ERP ecosystem, with no openly standardised EDIFACT or X12 counterpart.
