Some embodiments provide a non-transitory machine-readable medium that stores a program. The program receives a request for questions associated with a location and a category. The program also identifies a matrix, a hierarchy of locations associated with the matrix, and a hierarchy of categories associated with the matrix. The program further determines an aggregate collection of questions from a plurality of sets of questions based on the matrix, the hierarchy of locations, and the hierarchy of categories. The program also generates the aggregate collection of questions.

Dynamic aggregation of queries

Example embodiments for evaluating programmable conditions applicable to an operation are described. In an example embodiment, a request to evaluate one or more programmable conditions applicable to an operation is received. The request includes data associated with the operation. One or more objects representing the one or more programmable conditions are retrieved from a database. The one or more objects include executable code for determining compliance of the operation with the one or more programmable conditions. At least a portion of the executable code is executed based on the data associated with the operation. An output of the executable code is returned to a computing system issuing the request. The output includes an indication as to whether the operation complies with the one or more programmable conditions.

Evaluation of programmable conditions applicable to an operation

In response to a request received from a client device to view an item, a program determines a category associated with the item and a location associated with a user of the client device. The program also identifies a form based on the category and the location. The form comprises a set of fields. The program then provides a graphical user interface (GUI) that includes the form to the client device. The program also receives, through the GUI, data values for the set of fields from the client device and a request to add the item to a collection of items. The program then identifies a policy based on the category and the location. The program also applies the policy to the data values for the set of fields. The program then sends a notification to the client device indicating a result of the application of the policy.

Framework for classifying forms and processing form data

In one embodiment, a local computer network includes profile information local identifications for multiple organizations. Remote profile information is stored on a remote computer network and transferred to the local network to perform secure transactions with other computer networks. Embodiments of the disclosure include linking remote and local identifications. In another embodiment, remote and local identifications are linked by generated multiple messages to different users in different roles to prevent fraud, for example.

Computer implemented systems and methods for secure data transactions across disparate computing networks

The embodiments in this disclosure include a system for receiving search requests for one or more items from a client device having access to a local database that stores primary catalogs containing items of contracted entities. If the items are not found in the primary catalogs, the system may be configured to execute an API for processing the search request by routing the search request to a proxy vendor computer in a cloud network. The cloud network may be configured to store vendor master records for one or more non-contracted entities. The proxy vendor computer can conduct a text search of secondary catalogs associated with non-contracted entities, and can transmit search results to the client device for the requested items. The items may correspond to one or more vendor master records associated with a non-contracted entity and may have a matching entry in one or more of the secondary catalogs.

Methods and apparatus for storing and accessing vendor master data records in a cloud network via a proxy vendor system

Some embodiments provide a non-transitory machine-readable medium that stores a program. The program receives a request for suppliers associated with a location and a category. The program also identifies a matrix, a hierarchy of locations associated with the matrix, and a hierarchy of categories associated with the matrix. The program further determines a set of suppliers by based on the location, the category, the matrix, the hierarchy of locations, and the hierarchy of categories.

Matrix traversal based on hierarchies

In an example embodiment, definition information is received that includes a definition for each of one or more programmable conditions applicable to an operation. The definition information is translated into one or more objects representing the one or more programmable conditions. The objects include executable code for determining compliance of the operation with the programmable conditions. For each object, a lookup key is generated for the object based on the definition information. A database is checked to determine whether a prior version of the object is stored in the database using the generated lookup key. If stored in the database, the prior version of the object in the database is updated using the object. Otherwise, the object is stored in the database using the generated lookup key.

Definition of programmable conditions applicable to an operation

Some embodiments provide a program that receives, from a first system, a copy of master data. The program also receives a master data modification rule. The program further receives, from a second system, a first request to modify a value of a second field of data in the second system with a new value. In response to the first request, the program also identifies the master data modification rule. The program further performs a set of validation operations specified in the master data modification rule. Based on the performance of the set of validation operation, the program also modifies the first field in the copy of the master data with the new value based on the supplier identifier and sends a second request to the first system to modify the first field in the master data managed by the first system.

Master data management for a cloud computing system

In an example embodiment, a data structure is received and automatically reconciled with other data structures in a computer system by comparing fields such as dates, transaction amounts, and discount amounts. A user is alerted as to whether the matches or discrepancies occur by displaying a message in a user interface.
