  • Patent number: 8396762
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automatically determining substitution chains that are valid during a rules-based ATP check for an order item. In one implementation, a system is provided that includes an interface for interfacing with a plurality of data storage devices in at least one of which a plurality of stock items are stored as data. The system also includes an execution memory storing software and a buffer for temporarily storing data. A processor coupled to the interface and the execution memory may carry out an availability check in which a replacement chain describing replacements is stored in the buffer. The replacement chain may be determined by one or more of rules defining substitutions.

  • Publication number: 20100131431
    Abstract: The embodiments of the invention relates to a transportation management system. Specifically the embodiments of the invention relate to a system and process for generating shipment orders, freight orders and tours automatically from planned transportation activity data. The process reduces planned transportation activity to a set of frames having minimal data to reduce processing time. The frames are then evaluated for soft and hard constraints to identify a set of shipment orders, freight orders and tours. The shipment orders, freight orders and tours are then augmented from the frame state to include the necessary data.

  • Publication number: 20080114667
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automatically providing one or more event driven global available to promise services in a supply chain. In one implementation, the system includes an inbound interface for interfacing with a plurality of data storage devices, in at least one of which one or more documents are stored as data, wherein the one or more documents correspond to an activity. The system further includes an execution memory operable to hold a software system and a processor coupled to the inbound interface and the execution memory, the processor being operable to execute the software system such that the software system operates to assign the activity to a follow-up process on the basis of a condition profile.

  • Publication number: 20070130031
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automatically reassigning an order confirmation in response to an incoming order. In one implementation, a system is provided for automatically reassigning an order confirmation in response to an incoming order. The system comprises an inbound interface for interfacing with a plurality of data storage devices, in at least one of which an incoming order is stored as data and a plurality of confirmed sales orders are stored, an execution memory operable to hold a software system, and a processor for coupling to the inbound interface and the execution memory, the processor being operable to execute the software system such that the software system operates to determine the eligibility of the incoming order to determine whether goods from at least one of the confirmed sales order may be reassigned to the incoming order and to reassign goods from the at least one of the plurality of confirmed sales order to the incoming order if the determination is positive.

  • Publication number: 20070124213
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automatically assigning an incoming quantity of goods in response to an event. In one implementation, a system is provided for automatically assigning an incoming quantity of goods in response to an event. The system comprises an inbound interface for interfacing with a plurality of data storage devices in at least one of which the incoming quantity of goods are stored as data and a plurality of sales orders to be confirmed are stored; an execution memory operable to hold a software system, and a processor for coupling to the inbound interface and the execution memory, the processor being operable to execute the software system such that the software system operates to select a subset of sales orders from the plurality of sales to be confirmed according to one or more predetermined criteria and to assign to the subset of sales orders the incoming quantity of goods.
