Ordering systems are the focus of this work. Ordering systems are information systems which schedule or organize requirements in terms of components and materials and/or control the production and purchase orders emission/release being able to restrain or not rules of sequencing orders. Within this context, this paper intends: to present a new nomenclature for ordering systems, Systems for Coordinating purchase and production Orders (SCO); to present a typology that is able to classify all the systems in a rational way; to discuss some systems which have high potential for success applications and that are relatively unknown in Brazil and, to highlight a theme which is highly important to Production Planning and Control (PPC) in the scientific Brazilian literature.
