In an example embodiment, a demand signal management system is configured to coordinate data harmonization among a plurality of entities. The demand signal management system may obtain unharmonized data through third party entities. Global records based on internal master records and taxonomy information may be distributed to the entities. In some embodiments certain entities may have authority to create new global records. In other embodiments, some entities may have authority to approve proposed new global records. In still other embodiments, some entities may not have authority to create new global records. Unharmonzied data sent to the entities for harmonization in accordance with the global records. The entities may accept or reject the harmonization request. If accepted, the entity may return an updated global record, a proposed new global record, and/or a new global record depending on the unharmonized data, the global records and the entities' authority.

System and method for remote data harmonization

A method and a set of computer instructions for filling a customer sales order for a product are described. The method determines the availability of the product. The method determines the components of a product if the product is unavailable. The method determines the availability of the components from one or more suppliers.

Multi-level glogbal available-to-promise

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for implementing a software architecture design for a software application implementing plan-driven procurement. 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 Inbound Delivery Processing process component, a Site Logistics Processing process component, an Inventory Processing process component, a Purchase Request Processing process component, a Purchase Order Processing process component, a Purchasing Contract process component, a Supplier Invoice Processing process component, a Demand Forecast Processing process component, a Supply and Demand Matching process component, an External Procurement Trigger and Response process component, and a Logistics Execution Control process component.

Architectural design for plan-driven procurement application software

A system and method for message lifetime management. According to an embodiment of the invention, a front-end application process identifies during a user interface interaction cycle of the front-end application process at least one stateful message reported to the front-end application process by a back-end service process during a prior user interface interaction cycle of the front-end application process, the at least one stateful message having been stored in a message buffer by the front-end application process, queries the back-end service process to determine whether the at least one stateful message is currently valid, and removes the at least one stateful message from the message buffer if it is determined not to be currently valid.

System and method for message lifetime management

Generally, systems and methods permit customized delivery of messages to a user depending on the specific requirements of a user interface. A processing layer between a business object and a user interface may determine, for a received message, an appropriate rule for the target user interface. The message rule may be applied, and depending on the rule, the message may be delivered to the user.
