processes of Timberland.
• Customize OOTB CostSheet to include MOA (Multi Objects) to handle complex calculation.
Timberland has many international vendors and preferred factory across the world. Each country or
zone has its own rate (freight, tax, local landed cost etc.) and currency. To handle all these
complexity MOA and Look up table approach was used.

clients (e.g. MAZDA, VOLVO) executed at the TDM sites. Metaphase staging directory is being used as a
temporary storage place for the data file and auto pull clients will access these data files from the TDM sites.
The transfer of WERS generated release Part Information to Metaphase is being accomplished
through a Perl Metascript client running as cron job. The WERS file is being split in different files depending
upon the partner code and LVP and will be registered in the partner work location.
AutoPull 'C' Client:
This client is being used to auto push parts or an MP to a TDM (Team Data Manager) if the TDM does not
contain the specified pattern in the configuration file.
Key Technologies Used: Metaphase Model and Method Code, Perl, C, UNIX tools like grep, make, sed,
cron
