The present disclosure involves computer-implemented methods, software, and systems for determining a most suitable address for a master data object instance for a given usage in a business transaction document, master data object, or business process. A computer-implemented method includes determining, using at least one computer, an address determination sequence, applying the address determination sequence to available address instances of a master data object instance, identifying a most suitable address from among the available instances, and retrieving an address value from the identified most suitable address instance.

Determination of a most suitable address for a master data object instance

A business object model, which reflects data that is used during a given business transaction, is utilized to generate interfaces. This business object model facilitates commercial transactions by providing consistent interfaces that are suitable for use across industries, across businesses, and across different departments within a business during a business transaction. In some operations, software creates, updates, or otherwise processes information related to an address snapshot and an approval process definition business object.

Consistent interface for address snapshot and approval process definition

The present disclosure involves computer-implemented methods, software, and systems for efficiently handling address data in business transaction documents. A computer-implemented method includes receiving a modification to address data associated with an existing address instance, receiving, using at least one computer, an indication of a modification type, creating a new snapshot instance, associating the modified address data with the new snapshot instance, retrieving a unique reference value for the new address snapshot instance, and associating the unique reference value identifying the new address snapshot instance with the address instance.

Efficient handling of address data in business transaction documents

Methods and apparatus, including systems and computer program products, for a services architecture design that provides enterprise services having supply chain control functionality at the level of an enterprise application. The design includes a set of service operations, process components, and optionally deployment units. Suitable business objects are also described.

Computer readable medium for implementing supply chain control using service-oriented methodology

Methods and apparatus, including systems and computer program products, for a service architecture design that provides enterprise services having logistics execution functionality at the level of an enterprise application. The design includes a set of service operations, process components, and optionally deployment units. Suitable business objects are also described.

Providing logistics execution application as enterprise services

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for implementing a software architecture design for a software application implementing sell from stock software useful to process quotations, capture orders, process delivery and invoice. The application is structured as multiple process components interacting with each other through service interfaces, and multiple service operations, each being implemented for a respective process component. The process components include an Accounting process component; a Financial Accounting Master Data Management process component; an Outbound Delivery Processing process component; a Site Logistics Processing process component; an Inventory Processing process component; a Customer Requirement Processing process component; a Supply and Demand Matching process component; a Logistics Execution Control process component; a Due Item Processing process component; a Balance of Foreign Payment Management process component; a Payment Processing process component; a Customer Invoice Processing process component; a Customer Quote Processing process component; and a Sales Order Processing process component.
