Abstract: A system is disclosed allowing a buyer to directly build a shopping cart(s) on a supplier's portal (such as website, applications) without initiating any shopping request from company's network or system (such as eProcurement system). A standard cXML document can be used to transmit a Punchout Order Message (POOM) address to a customer system where the POOM can be retrieved. Additionally, a buyer identifier (e.g., an email address) can be included in the cXML document so that the customer system can verify the buyer making purchases. An address is returned to the supplier's portal, which can be used by the buyer to complete the purchase. In one example, the address directs the buyer to log into the customer system to verify the purchase.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for self-service integration and feature testing. In one embodiment, a test mode service receives a request to test an integration of a third-party system with a production system. The test mode service enables at least one plugin to test at least one function of the production system. The test mode service executes at least one function using the plugin(s) and data provided by the integration of the third-party system. The test mode service then reports a result of how the production system performs the function(s) associated with the plugin(s) using test data.

Abstract: In B2B purchasing, ordering is proposed wherein a customer can buy directly from a supplier website without logging into their own E-procurement system. In one embodiment, the supplier website generates a customized purchase order (PO) for submission to a third-party's purchasing system based upon purchases made by the customer. The purchasing system sends an acknowledgement, and the supplier can proceed to fulfil the order.

Abstract: A system is disclosed allowing a customer to directly build a shopping cart on a supplier's website without logging into a third-party eProcurement system for which the customer is making purchases. Various push and pull models are used for allowing the customer to request content of shopping cart. After the customer logs into the supplier's website, the customer can be identified as associated with the third-party eProcurement system. In such a case, the user is displayed a control allowing the shopping cart to be transmitted to the third-party system for approval.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided in which a character possessing a weapon is displayed in a scene along with first and second affordances. Responsive to first affordance user contact, scene orientation is changed. Responsive to second affordance user contact with a first status of the weapon, a firing process is performed in which the weapon is fired and the weapon status is updated. When (i) the first and second affordances are user contact free or (ii) the second affordance is presently in user contact and there is a second weapon status, firing is terminated. Alternatively, when the second affordance is presently in user contact and there is a first weapon status, the firing is repeated. Alternatively still, with (i) present first affordance user contact, (ii) a first weapon status, and (iii) no present second affordance user contact, the firing is repeated upon second affordance user contact.
