Direct Planning includes a plugin manager. Plugins are specific programs which can be called by Direct Planning via various triggers such as each backup, each loading, every x minutes, etc.
They are for instance used to generate exchange files towards your ERP, in the native format expected by this ERP.
While writing plugins is currently reserved to the Direct Planning team, third party developers may also be able to contribute to them in the future. Our development team will be happy to assist you with your project.
