1. A computer readable medium including program code for providing message-based services using a service-oriented methodology for implementing an instance of a deployment unit, the medium comprising:

  • program code for storing a supply chain control deployment unit for the management and planning of on-time demand fulfillment, where the supply chain control deployment unit defines the limits of an application-defined transaction for the management and planning of on-time demand fulfillment by a set of actions that have atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability in a database, and wherein the actions associated with the application-defined transaction are performed by one or more process components contained in the supply chain control deployment unit, wherein each process component comprises a software package realizing a business process and exposing its functionality as one or more service operations, wherein the supply chain control deployment unit comprises;

    a customer requirement processing process component, wherein the customer requirement processing process component implements the following service operations;

    a check availability operation, a delete provisional customer requirement operation, a maintain customer requirement operation, a confirm fulfillment operation, a check availability and reserve operation, and a notify of availability update operation;

    a demand forecast processing process component, wherein the demand forecast processing process component implements the following service operations;

    a maintain demand forecast operation;

    an external procurement trigger and response process component, wherein the external procurement trigger and response process component implements the following service operations;

    a maintain planning view of purchase order operation, a notify of purchase order delivery values operation, a change purchase requisition based on purchase request operation, and a request purchasing operation;

    an in-house requirement processing process component, wherein the in-house requirement processing process component implements the following service operations;

    a supply and demand matching process component, wherein the supply and demand matching process component implements the following service operations;

    a maintain planning view of inventory based on logistics confirmation operation and a maintain planning view of inventory based on inventory reconciliation operation;

    wherein the process components of the supply chain control deployment unit are packaged together to be deployed on a single computer system;

    program code for executing the application-defined transaction for the management and planning of on-time demand fulfillment; and

    program code for presenting data associated with the executed application-defined transaction for the management and planning of on-time demand fulfillment to a graphical user interface.
