The present invention pertains to an enterprise-wide enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, and in particular, to methods and systems for interfacing the enterprise-wide ERP system with ERP systems at subsidiary organizations. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a method includes connecting to an enterprise data management system through a data base server, a web service and a data interface application programming interface (API) in a remote data system and through a data mapping component and an intermediate documents (IDOC) adapter in a data exchange interface using simple object address protocol (SOAP) messages and extensible markup language (XML) messages.

What is claimed is: 1. A method for integrating and distributing information between computer systems of first and second entities, the computer systems storing transactional data in respective data formats, the computer systems having different data structures, comprising: selecting a connection path from among a first communication path, a second communication path, and a third communication path, each of the first, second and third communication paths extending between the first entity and the second entity, wherein the first communication path connects the first entity via a data base server, a data interface application programming interface and a web service through a data mapping component and an intermediate documents adapter in a data exchange interface using simple object address protocol messages and extensible markup language messages to the second entity, wherein the second communication path connects the first entity via a data warehouse to the second entity, wherein the third communication path connects the first entity via a web portal to the second entity; generating a communication having a first data structure at the first entity, the communication directed to the second entity, wherein the second entity uses a second data structure; transforming, based on the selected communication path, the communication into a data structure compatible with the data structure of the second entity; sending the transformed communication to the second entity; generating a response to the communication to the first entity from the second entity, wherein the response has a format compatible with the second data structure; and converting, based on the selected communication path, the generated response from the format compatible with the second data structure to a format compatible with the first data structure for presentation at the first entity. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein when the first communication path is selected, the sending comprises: sending the communication to an enterprise data management system at the second entity and through the data exchange interface from an application program connected to the first entity. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the transforming occurs at the application programming interface. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the transforming further comprises: formatting the transformed communication into a communication format by the intermediate documents adapter. 5. The method of claim 1, the transforming further comprises: performing by the data mapping component in the data exchange interface data mapping of the data structure of the communication to a data structure compatible with the second entity; and converting, by the intermediate documents adapter, the data mapped communication to a communication format compatible for communication with the second entity. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the transforming occurs at the data warehouse coupled to the first entity and the second entity, which comprises the chosen first communication path. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the transforming occurs at the web portal coupled to the first entity and the second entity, which comprises the chosen first communication path. 8. A workstation-readable medium embodied with computer program instructions of a method for integrating and distributing information between computer systems of first and second entities, the computer systems storing transactional data in respective data formats, the computer systems having different data structures, the computer program instructions causing a workstation to execute the following: selecting a connection path from among a first communication path, a second communication path, and a third communication path, each of the first, second and third communication paths extending between the first entity and the second entity, wherein the first communication path connects the first entity via a data base server, a data interface application programming interface and a web service through a data mapping component and an intermediate documents adapter in a data exchange interface using simple object address protocol messages and extensible markup language messages to the second entity, wherein the second communication path connects the first entity via a data warehouse to the second entity, wherein the third communication path connects the first entity via a web portal to the second entity; generating a communication having a first data structure at the first entity, the communication directed to the second entity, wherein the second entity uses a second data structure; transforming, based on the selected communication path, the communication into a data structure compatible with the data structure of the second entity; sending the transformed communication to the second entity; generating a response to the communication to the first entity from the second entity, wherein the response has a format compatible with the second data structure; and converting, based on the selected communication path, the generated response from the format compatible with the second data structure to a format compatible with the first data structure for presentation at the first entity. 9. The workstation-readable medium of claim 8, wherein when the first communication path is selected, the sending comprises: sending the communication to an enterprise data management system at the second entity and through the data exchange interface from an application program connected to the first entity. 10. The workstation-readable medium of claim 9, wherein the transforming occurs at the application programming interface. 11. The workstation-readable medium of claim 10, wherein the transforming further comprises: formatting the transformed communication into a communication format by the intermediate documents adapter. 12. The workstation-readable medium of claim 8, the transforming further comprises: performing by the data mapping component in the data exchange interface data mapping of the data structure of the communication to a data structure compatible with the second entity; and converting, by the intermediate documents adapter, the data mapped communication to a communication format compatible for communication with the second entity. 13. The workstation-readable medium of claim 8, wherein the transforming occurs at the data warehouse coupled to the first entity and the second entity, which comprises the chosen first communication path. 14. The workstation-readable medium of claim 8, wherein the transforming occurs at the web portal coupled to the first entity and the second entity, which comprises the chosen first communication path.
