Techniques and solutions are provided for determining changes to networks formed from network objects. Changes to network objects, such as addition or deletion operations are received and associated with timestamps. Last data changes for respective network objects are determined, including a last data change for a particular type associated with a respective networked object, where a networked object may be concurrently associated with a plurality of types. A first network object is removed from a first network, and contributions of the first network object to edges in the first network are removed. A second network object is associated with an addition operation and at least one edge is determined that connects the second network object and a third network object. Sets of disconnected network objects are determined. Network objects are associated with an identifier identifying a network that includes a respective network object.

Efficient network updates

Querying a data set formed from a version of primary data and secondary data is facilitated. First and second versions of primary data are stored in a primary data version store. Secondary data is received. The secondary data is stored in a secondary data store. A query language statement is received. The query language statement is executed by selecting query results from a data set that includes the secondary data and elements of the first version of primary data not inconsistent with the secondary data.

Query processing using primary data versioning and secondary data

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 The process components include an RFQ Processing process component, a Purchase Request Processing process component, a Purchase Order Processing process component, a Purchasing Contract Processing process component, a Supplier Invoice Processing process component, a Supply and Demand Matching process component, an External Procurement Trigger and Response process component, and a Customer Requirement Processing process component.

Architectural design for make-to-specification application software

Methods and apparatus, including systems and computer program products, for a services architecture design that provides enterprise services having supply chain control 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.

Computer readable medium for implementing supply chain control using service-oriented methodology

In various implementations, a sales order are received from a sales order requester for at least one good, wherein the sales order includes product options for ordered goods via a sales product requirement specification object. A sales order confirmation is generated at least partially based on the sales order and a plan for production of the ordered goods. The ordered goods to be produced based on the plan are allowed. And an outbound delivery request defined by a planning product requirement specification object is generated, wherein the ordered goods are delivered to the sales order requestor based on the delivery request.
