A real-time electronic business transaction system and method is proposed, which is capable of reporting STFC (Ship To First Commitment) and FCT (Factory Cycle Time) data in real time to a customer in response to an electronic purchase order from the customer. The proposed electronic business transaction system comprises an EDI (Electronic Data Exchange) platform, a SAP (Service Advertising Platform) platform, an SQL(Structured Query Language) server, and a WWW (World Wide Web) server. The EDI platform is linked to a customer-site workstation and is used to receive any electronic purchase order from the customer. The SAP platform is used to perform a predefined FCT computation procedure to compute for a set of FCT data based on the received electronic purchase order; while the SQL server is used to perform a predefined STFC computation procedure to compute for a set of STFC data based on the received electronic purchase order. The obtained FCT/STFC data are then posted on the WWW server so as to allow the customer to gain access to these FCT/STFC data via Internet.
