Developing Plug-Ins

Q: What should you do with the Advanced Planning and Scheduling System to incorporate and operate the programs (plug-ins) you have developed links to?

A: When a plug-in is developed you can directly access almost all of the Advanced Planning and Scheduling System's internal data (objects and properties) and can reference add change delete and execute internal methods (processing). Plug-ins allow high-level high-speed development with close linkage. Developing plug-ins requires that you have a good knowledge for making use of the COM interface technology which gives development with a high level of functionality? compared to external programs.
