Abstract:
Adaptation of enterprise resource planning systems to the frequently changing business environment and business
processes require huge resources. That is why the demand was formulated for a method that enables
introducing new features in software systems without any modification in program code. An adaptive ERP
system cannot handle business processes and data flow as disjoint components. Therefore the proposed solution
is bifocal: an adaptive ERP system with highly integrated data flow and document management. In this
article design and programming challenges are shown that had to be met during the development, focusing on
topics of effective data storage and queries, workflow control structures and workflow evaluation techniques,
document representation and the connection of workflow and data flow.
