Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to Spend Limit Systems for gas-station refuel transactions. An exemplary system may receive vehicle information identifying a customer's vehicle and identify associated vehicle characteristics (e.g., gas tank size). The system may identify a known gas-station transaction geographic region for the customer.

The system may also determine whether the merchant location falls within the known gas-station transaction geographic region. When it does, the system may approve the transaction request up to the spend limit. Otherwise, the system may perform one or more fraud prevention actions to authenticate the customer and either approve or deny the transaction request up to the spend limit and/or selectively perform fraud mitigation action(s).

Abstract: In an example embodiment, when a user creates a consignment issue item for a given product in a sales order, the system will reserve/temporarily allocate the available quantity in consignment stock. A synchronous call to lock the inventor makes a tentative update to the inventory stock on the quantity required for the request product on the created issue item. This update is tentative because the locked quantity should be released if the user decides not to save the document, but it also should be locked so that it is not available to another user who is also trying to create an issue item in a different sales order document for the same product in a parallel session. The allocation may also change several times before saving the document by additional synchronous calls that again update the tentative allocations. When the user finally decides the final state of the issue item, it asynchronously sends either a confirmation or compensate message based on whether the document was saved or not saved.
