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.

Consistent set of interfaces derived from a business object model

Methods and apparatus, including systems and computer program products, for a services architecture design that provides enterprise services having supplier relationship management 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 supplier relationship management software application as enterprise services

A networked database includes the automatic creation of follow-on data sets from initial data sets. A dialogue routine is implemented for initiating a dialogue-type communication that includes inputting and confirming data required for creating the follow-on data sets. The database is provided with a plurality of data sets and is capable of generating and displaying a list of data sets according to user-defined criteria. For a data set in the generated list that allows for the automatic creation of a follow-on data set, a related, configurable, user-activated control element is displayed. Upon user-activation, the control element, generates a control signal for initiating the automatic creation of the follow-on data set based on data derived from the selected data set and/or any data set associated with the selected data set. The newly created follow-on data set is then associated with the selected data set.

Distributed handling of associated data sets in a computer network

Methods and systems are provided for accessing, processing, and outputting data on a graphical output device for a user is provided. In one implementation, a method is provided that comprises presenting on the graphical output device a first portion of a data object in a window, wherein the data object contains a plurality of data object items, at least one of the data object items being sought by the user, and wherein the data object contains more data object items than being presentable in the window at a given moment in time. The method may further include providing on the graphical output device first and second control elements in relation to the presented data object, the first and second control elements being arranged to be activated by means of a user-operated input device in order to generate first and second request signals, respectively, upon such activation. Further, the method comprises effecting, upon generating respective first or second request signals, a scroll step into a direction corresponding to the respectively generated first and second request signals having a predetermined step size towards the data object item sought by the user, and presenting another portion of the data object in the window at least partially differing from the first portion of the data object, the step size between subsequently presented portions of the data object decreasing in proportion with the number of generated first or second request signals to effect a series of one or more scroll steps towards the sought data object item among the data object items.
