Technologies are described for acquiring and processing data related to a production process, including to generate a report of variances between planned values and actual values. Data can be received from a plurality of data sources, such as hardware sensors, associated with the production process. The data can be sent in real time, such as in response to a request or upon the occurrence of a particular event. The data can be received and stored in one or more database tables having a format. The format can be the same format as a format in which planning data is maintained. When maintained in a common format, comparisons of planning and actual data can be carried out faster and with less processor use. Reports can include granular data, such as variances associated with particular data sources, or groups of data sources.

Real-time or event-based analysis of process data

Methods and computer systems are provided managing and valuating inventory. In one embodiment, a computer system may assign every item of goods which is entering a working process to an identifier. The computer system may then track the goods in the working process. Further, the computer system may update a given identifier when the goods assigned to this identifier enter another stage in the working process, assign at least one price to each stage in the working process, determine the content of one or more identifiers, and calculate a price for goods in the working process.

Computer-implemented methods and computer systems for managing and valuating inventory

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

The data processing system has an online transactional processing (OLTP) system for receiving of reporting data from work centers of a production line. The production line is logically divided into shop areas. At the exits of each shop area where an intermediate product is completed one reporting point serves as exit point in order to report the completion of an intermediate production step. This data is stored in the OLTP system and retrieved at a later point of time in order to generate a table containing aggregated intermediate product quantities per shop area. This table is transferred to a financial data server for calculation of the value of work in progress.

Data processing system and method for supply chain management

A multiple transaction quantity inventory management system including an inventory management component to store and manage inventory information using a base unit of measure ('UOM') and in a valuation UOM related by at least one conversion factor for each of a plurality of goods; a material management component connected to the inventory management component, the material management component to monitor and maintain information on the plurality of goods in the base UOM and in the valuation UOM for each of the plurality of goods; a sales delivery component connected to the inventory management component, the sales delivery component to receive and process sales orders in the base UOM; a warehouse management component connected to the inventory management component, the warehouse management component to control stock information for the plurality of goods in a single UOM; and a financial component connected to the inventory management component, the material management component, the sales delivery component, and the warehouse management component, the financial component to value movement of the plurality of goods using the valuation UOM.

Method and system for catch-weight management

Embodiments of the present invention relate to computer systems, methods and programs for storing a set of data obtained from a data source, the set of data comprising a set of attribute or field names and respective attribute or field values. The computer system may comprise means for storing object type definitions, each object type definition comprising an object type name and at least a set of defining characteristics and a set of role names, and means for storing role definitions, each role definition comprising a role name and at least a set of controlling characteristics. Further, the computer system may include means for storing a list of prioritized finding rules, each finding rule comprising a condition for application to values of the set of data and one of the object types that is returned when the condition is fulfilled, means for storing objects that are instances of the object types, and means for storing mass data referring to objects; and a set of inbound interfaces.
