Its just that moving the logic to this business process engine seems like it might be the way to go. Its built specifically for that purpose and its super flexible. Also you need to consider that if your company doesn't have the resources for programmers "program" what you need, you can just do it yourself in GIS. There is pluses and minuses either route you go, but I bet the happy medium is a mix of the two. Craig,

All of these checks can be moved to the GIS system, although not with ease" But does this mean that the checks MUST be done in GIS or can you still use your existing hard-coded checks and balances..?!? “For example, on a 850 purchase order we check to see if a customer’s store exists in our customer master file or if that customer is allowed to order the product they are trying to order.
