To need of automation of task allocation at the level of a subsystem within the ERP system the development team of IT-Box came, in particular, in the analysis of business processes of preparation of loads for a customs clearance and cargo transportation.

At the same time the principle of consecutive formation of accomplishment of tasks was selected from uniform business process — in the form of a chain as some of tasks should wait for execution of previous. Tasks should be "tied" to data and objects of Enterprise resource planning and also to events and to be appointed to contractors by two principles: role, covering group of participants of process, and individual when the specific objective is appointed to one employee. For transfer of a task from one employee to another (at a delay of execution, absence on site and so forth) in a system the mechanism of reassignment of tasks with control of execution time taking into account deadline was implemented. Applying such system, the head of department has an opportunity to control business process in general.
