Example Scenarios Used Within the Aerospace Industry

["Schuldt, Ron L" <ron.l.schuldt@lmco.com>]

The Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) has been developing harmonized
business transaction implementation conventions for the past several years.
To support each transaction type (e.g., purchase order, purchase order
change, etc.), the AIA EC Working Group starts with business example use
case scenarios that are documented and agreed upon by the participating
companies within the industry. 

Although the data details are EDI X12 oriented, the business process
scenarios would apply to any data format standard. Therefore, I suggest that
members of this list at least look at the "business example" documents
available from the following URL:  --

For starters, I suggest looking at the purchase order business example which
is particularly useful. Portions of it could provide a model that this list
might find useful.
