A system and method for constructing extensible markup language (XML) transactions comprising an XML format run on a computer system, wherein the method comprises pre-building static structures of an XML transaction, classifying dynamic structures of the XML transaction with empty tags and single occurrence classifiers for repeating dynamic structures, building a list of a sequence of the static and dynamic structures, linking the list to a type of XML transaction and a predetermined trading partner profile (TPP), and combining the static structures with the dynamic structures at a runtime of the XML transaction based on the sequence, the type of XML transaction, the TPP, and dynamic structures of the XML transaction, wherein the XML transaction occurs in a business-to-business (B2B) electronic environment.

System and method for speeding XML construction for a business transaction using prebuilt XML with static and dynamic sections

A computer implemented Availability Checking Tool wherein tool users work within a common work environment, from common enterprise data, and considering assets and demands across multiple order management systems and manufacturing facilities within boundaries established by manufacturing specifications, process flows and business policies. Tool users can easily maintain a synergistic relationship between orders from multiple demand sources or ordering systems. A demand configurator receives demand information from each demand source and coordinates product requests in accordance with customer request rules and priorities. A supply configurator receives manufacturing and planning data from a planning source and manipulates the received manufacturing and planning data to create new supply data. A material resource engine provides material supply information from the new supply data, the received demand information following product supply rules and priorities. A solver optimizes product availability information in response to the material supply information, product supply rules and priorities.

A computer implemented Availability Checking Tool enabling tool users to execute within a common work environment, from common enterprise data, and considering assets and demands across multiple order management systems and manufacturing facilities within boundaries established by manufacturing specifications and process flows and business policies. The tool receives orders from multiple demand sources or ordering systems. Tool users can easily maintain a synergistic relationship between multiple ordering systems. A demand configurator coordinates product requests based on information from the demand source according to certain rules and priorities assigned to the product requests. A material resource engine manipulates data from the demand configurator and the rules to provide material supply information. A solver manipulates the material supply information from the resource engine and the rules to provide optimized product availability information. Thus, customer business rule level definitions are supported to provide the tool users with the power to micro-manage, optimally, enterprise assets and demands.
