Cross Industry Quotation Process BRS

The current practice of the exchange of business documents by means of telecommunications – usually defined as e-Business presents a major opportunity to improve the competitiveness of companies, especially for Small and Medium Enterprises (SME). The Quotation is an important document exchanged between trading partners.
The Cross Industry Quotation has been compiled using the ASD2000M version 2.0 as the base, with contributions and submissions from: BoostAero, EDIFICE and US DoD. The first draft of the Business Requirements Specification (BRS) was developed with TBG14 and presented prior to the TBG1-TBG6 joint meeting in February 2009.
The objective of this document is to standardize the Business processes, the Business transactions and the Information entities of the Quotation used by the industries in the supply chain.The business process is the detailed description of the way trading partners intend to play their respective roles, establish business relations and share responsibilities to interact efficiently with the support of their respective information systems. Each Business transaction is realized by an exchange of Business documents (also called messages).
The sequences in which these documents are used, compose a particular instance of a scenario and are presented as activity diagrams in the document.
