How our OCI interface works


With our OCI solution, you can organise your ordering processes more efficiently and with fewer errors. OCI allows you to integrate the contents of your shopping basket from the LAPP online shop into your system at the touch of a button. This eliminates the need to enter order data manually and saves you valuable time.

When you create an order or purchase requisition in your system, you can go directly to the LAPP online shop. Your OCI parameters stored in the merchandise management system are loaded in the background so that you are automatically logged in and can immediately use your customised settings in the shop. All functionalities, such as the article search and storage in the shopping basket, are available to you without restriction.
The decisive difference to conventional online ordering becomes apparent at the end of the ordering process: the shopping basket is not sent directly to LAPP when an OCI is called up, but is returned to your merchandise management system. All relevant OCI fields such as description, order quantity, unit of measure, price, currency, price unit, delivery time, material number, material group class, order number and item number are transferred. This prevents duplicate data entry and minimises errors.
As soon as the data has been successfully transferred to your ERP system, you will receive a pre-filled purchase requisition (BANF) or order, which you can release according to your defined approval process. The actual order at LAPP is then placed as usual via your ERP system, whether by fax, e-mail or EDI. Alternatively, you can place an order directly in the LAPP online shop if required.
