Definition

Use

In decoupling the data from the logistics system is first processed through the preprocessor and then through the accounting interface. The preprocessor performs different steps. This allows you to do the following:

  • Document the order of the steps and their interfaces
  • Vary the steps for different purposes
  • Reuse step implementations

Dependencies
