求描述包含来做订购的必要的信息：产品ID,首选的交货时间、数量和最大的价格。基于当前的产品水平和预测的交货时间和全面的库存策略，交货时间、数量被确定下来。在收到请求后,物流代理询问物流顾客信息中心以获得包含某一特定的产品供应商的一个列表。随后谈话符合FIPA查询协议,则开始通过包含用产品ID从顾客中心信息查询的FIPA查询信息。物流CIC响应包含有供应商列表（可能为空）的CIC回应的FIPA通知消息。空的名单导致一个从物流代理发送到批发商代理的FIPA失败的消息(存在失败的订购要求结果集)。当物流CIC无法联络的时候，类似的反应被发送。当收到空清单,物流代理移除可靠性的价值低于某个阈值的这些供应商,然后LA代理描述列表是由从有可靠性信息的物流顾客信息中心得到的顾客信息中心代理描述来补充组成的。如果给定的批发商是不被知的，那么一个预设的信赖被使用。在准备这份清单后,物流代理利用FIPA请求协议找到一个免费的订购代理。繁忙的代理人会报以FIPA拒绝的讯息。如果所有的代理反应都是这样一种方式,这个过程可能需要重复,直到找到一个免费的订购代理和响应FIPA同意的信息。物流代理服务器发送订购要求到选定的订购代理并且会等待着结果.物流代理信息包括有订单描述的问题订单处理以及物流系统代理描述。从物流系统得到请求后,订购代理参加FIPA合同网协议同在列表
