Business Objects RDT for ERP Baan

[MNK2974]

Hi,

I need some information on how BO RDT is used with Baan ERP?
RDT -> Rapid Deployment Template. They are BO universes that map the underlying data structures to business terms that are meaningful to end-users.

I need to know how exactly to go about it...ASAP!!!

The Baan RDT work in the same way as all the other ERP templates. These can be downloaded from

http://www.businessobjects.com/products/e_deployment_rdt_baan.htm

where you can find the Business Objects Baan data sheet.

Check out website:

and do a search RDT

Article "Baan certifies BusinessObjects as providing proven decision support functionality for Baan IV enterprise applications" is the most informative.

Testing focused around BusinessObjects access to the following Baan IV modules:

Accounts payable Location control
Cash management Lot control
Electronic data interchange Purchase order control
Item control Replenishment order control
Inventory control

Bacp4, Bcmg4, Bedi4, Bilc4, Bitm4, Bltc4 and Bpur4 are the only RDTs availalble for Baan.

Business Objects currently has seven certified rapid deployment templates (RDTs) available for Baan IV b2. These RDTs help customers quickly deploy BusinessObjects on top of existing Baan IV applications. Business Objects is currently working on additional RDTs for Baan IV modules including finance, manufacturing, distribution, and transportation.

There is no plan to expand the documentation on Baan RDT's at present
