Order Management subsystem extensions for procurement

In WebSphere Commerce the database schema supports additional information for orders and order items from buying organizations, and order status information from the fulfillment center. The database schema was extended for procurement to capture the order and order item information sent by the procurement system on the buyer's behalf.

Two tables were created to extend the capturing of order information:

The ORDRMEEXTN table extends the capability of the ORDERS table, and the ORDIMEEXTN extends the capability of the ORDERITEMS table. These tables can be customized to capture additional information.

Note: The Order Management subsystem cannot send orders to the procurement system for approval or process orders sent from the procurement system. These actions are supported by the SubmitShoppingCart, SendShoppingCart, and BatchOrderRequest commands.
