QXtend
The QAD QXtend interoperability framework provides a standardized data interface between QAD products and between QAD products and external systems.
The framework consists of two components:
• QAD QXtend Outbound (QXO) exports business objects as QDocs from QAD products, such as QAD Enterprise Applications and QAD JIT Sequencing (JIT/S), to external subscribers.
• QAD QXtend Inbound (QXI) imports QDocs from external applications into QAD Enterprise Applications and other QAD applications such as JIT/S.
For details about configuring and implementing QAD QXtend, see QAD QXtend User Guide.
