It is currently being defined in policy documents and an implementation plan known as the Future Logistics Architecture (FLA). The systems strategy for the FLE is still emerging, but it is anticipated that commercial standard software will play a significant role in the enablement of the new logistics business processes. A number of products are available for implementation, but this paper focuses on mySAP.com from SAP AG. We show the strategy for aligning the SAP reference hierarchy and the associated reference business process models with the FLA. The result of the mapping and associated analysis is an SAP reference model for the FLE, which can be used as a guide for the software vendor for future product development strategies. This paper reports on the development of the FLA, its alignment with mySAP.com and the development of the SAP reference model.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1108\/09576050410510935","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,1,29]],"date-time":"2004-01-29T17:55:40Z","timestamp":1075398940000},"page":"31-44","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Aligning mySAP.com with the future logistics enterprise"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Thomas R.","family":"Gulledge","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocab":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Phil","family":"Hayes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocab":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alexander","family":"Lotterer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocab":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Georg","family":"Simon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocab":"crossref"}]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2022012820452925800_B1","unstructured":"Brand, H.
