A product configuration device outputs a configuration of a product in accordance with a set of configuration rules. The product configuration device includes a rule learning system configured to acquire a first set of data representing a plurality of configurations of the product; to generate a neural network model representing the first set of data; to extract relationships between configuration attributes from the neural network model; and to modify the set of configuration rules based on the extracted relationships to generate a modified set of configuration rules for the product configuration device. The product configuration device may also include a rule execution engine that outputs the configuration of the product based on the modified set of configuration rules.

Product configurator with automated rule learning

Embodiments operate a configurator that generates a quote for a product or service configuration, the quote including a quote workflow that includes at least one required quote approval and the quote includes a plurality of quote attributes that define the quote. Embodiments input the plurality of quote attributes into a first neural network model and a second neural network model and generate with a gradient descent a likelihood that the quote will be approved and a time required for the quote to be approved. Embodiments generate one or more attributes with the largest gradient values for the likelihood that the quote will be approved and the time required for the quote to be approved. Embodiments receive a change to one or more of the attributes and regenerate the likelihood that the quote will be approved and/or the time required for the quote to be approved based on the change.

Configuration price quote with enhanced approval control

Disclosed is an improved approach for implementing enterprise software systems that addresses the above-described problems with existing systems. The present approach provides an effective and efficient way for defining schemas for services, and to define how to map the schema to particular transactional contexts.

Method and system for implementing a CRM quote and order capture context service

Various techniques for providing a Web Service interface to an order management system are disclosed. In one embodiment, a Web Service interface receives a hierarchical property set, which includes properties being input to an order management system. The Web Service interface accesses mapping information, which associates a variable in a flat property set with a hierarchical property set path. The Web Service interface uses the mapping information to convert the hierarchical property set to the flat property set, based upon the mapping information, and then causes the order management system to process the flat property set. The Web Service interface can also use the same mapping information to convert a flat property set generated by the order management system into a hierarchical property set.
