A computer-implemented method for configuring a customized extension for an electronic product transaction database object class includes receiving user-initiated input that selects a set type predefined for at least one electronic product database object class that defines a product type for which instances of the electronic product database object class may be created. The method also includes associating the selected set type with a selected electronic product transaction database object class used in a computer-executed product transaction process and for which instances of the electronic product transaction database object may be created. The selected set type is to serve as a customized extension for the selected electronic product transaction database object class when a product that is defined by a product database object class that uses the selected set type is identified in the computer-executed product transaction process.

Customized extensions of electronic database objects

A computer-implemented method for processing spare parts purchase orders includes receiving, during a manufacturing planning phase, an estimate of the number of the spare parts that will be needed to be produced during a given period to satisfy expected purchase orders for the spare part. The method also includes receiving a user-defined configurable reasonable quantity rule to be used during processing of electronic purchase order information. The method further includes, upon receipt of an electronic purchase order, determining whether a quantity value included in the electronic purchase order is reasonable using the defined reasonable quantity check rule, and if determined unreasonable, generating an indication that the quantity value was determined to be unreasonable.
