Talking with Bryan about cross corp mappings and PO/Invoice manifests. We also talked about Amex API's and starting a profile and then adding someone to the queue. These are all some basic projects that Bryan has that are either current and/or up and coming.

We looked at the old cross corp code between invoices and PO's. The old code was fully based on matching text based values. This works to a certain level. Where we need to head is allowing cross crop mapping and allow for variations and dynamic mappings. It needs to get away from hard text matching into actual id mapping. If you map to the id's, the text means nothing and it becomes easier. Steve kept saying that we want to slow down the existing process and allow for the users to help pick and point to different things along the existing process. That means we need to re-work the process.

I think it is so interesting that we are seeing a huge need for more and more cross corp mapping and application flex grid stuff. Pretty cool and crazy to see where things are headed.

We are seeing more and more needs to be able to add mappings and settings, inside of existing corps, even between corps, to help speed up the data transfer process. This could be from parent organization to child organizations or from vendor/manufacture to sub distributors and/or retailers. People need to move data from company to company and system to system. The better we can map things across those ranges, the better we can play the game. I think it is time to at least start working on the application flex grid stuff.
