Hello, first of all allow me to apologize if I make some silly assumptions; I am an SAP developer by trade and was asked to help figure out how to make something happen in a Baan system (which I know very little about).

Basically, they have a need to programmatically post production order confirmations into their Baan (IVc4 is the version they told me) systems from an external application. The external app being in-house developed can be made to output the data in any fashion/protocol: XML, delimited files, API calls, DB inserts etc. Unfortunately, I am completely in the dark as to what is available as far as external interfaces in Baan. Is there somewhere I can find documentation for these? I've googled around a bit and searched the boards here but I am having a hard time making sense of things since so many Baan-centric terms are new to me.

In case any of you are also SAP developers, I am looking for the equivalent of an SAP BAPI call or IDoc. :)

Thanks!

Replying to myself here.. looks like I can use the OLE API for this; just need to figure out what Baan dll/function to call.

You can make this by making a session which will input of file on the client server location with specific name and path on a definate location. Then directly insert/update the data into the post product table. For this you have to have a programming knowledge of baan for new session development and coding.
