Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media provide mechanisms to determine the availability of one or more order items within a supply chain environment. In one embodiment, the method may comprise defining a profile to be associated with an availability check, wherein the availability check consists of a filter process, a sort process, a prepare process, a check process, and an update process, electronically building one or more processing packages for the one or more order items based on the defined profile, and executing the availability check using the profile and one or more processing packages.
