A real-time electronice business transaction system and method for reporting STFC/FCT data to customer

摘要

A real-time electronic business transaction system and method is proposed, which is capable of reporting STFC (Ship To First Commitment) and FCT (Factory Cycle Time) data in real time to a customer in response to an electronic purchase order from the customer. The proposed electronic business transaction system comprises an EDI (Electronic Data Exchange) platform (210), a SAP (Service Advertising Platform) platform (220), an SQL (Structured Query Language) server (230), and a WWW (World Wide Web) server (240). The EDI platform (210) is linked to a customer-site workstation (10) and is used to receive any electronic purchase order from the customer. The SAP platform (220) is used to perform a predefined FCT computation procedure to compute for a set of FCT data based on the received electronic purchase order; while the SQL server (230) is used to perform a predefined STFC computation procedure to compute for a set of STFC data based on the received electronic purchase order. The obtained FCT/STFC data are then posted on the WWW server (240) so as to allow the customer to gain access to these FCT/STFC data via Internet.
