Patent number: 9286578Abstract: The present disclosure involves computer-implemented methods, software, and systems for determining a most suitable address for a master data object instance for a given usage in a business transaction document, master data object, or business process. A computer-implemented method includes determining, using at least one computer, an address determination sequence, applying the address determination sequence to available address instances of a master data object instance, identifying a most suitable address from among the available instances, and retrieving an address value from the identified most suitable address instance.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2011Date of Patent: March 15, 2016Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Gerd M. Ritter, Andreas Bettin, Andreas Neumann, Toralf Grossmann, Timo Wolf

Publication number: 20150379534Abstract: Processing power of a database may be leveraged to perform contact engagement analysis efficiently defining target groups. A person-centric data model allows rapid segmentation based upon details of individual contacts, and the nature of their interactions. The data model may recognize multiple facets of a single individual, for example different identifiers for various personal networks (e.g., social media networks, enterprise directories, etc.). Contact engagement analysis may use techniques such as contact classification, filtering, date period selection, and/or tag cloud based topic classification visualization, in order to achieve target group definition. A data model and UI may provide selection tools filtering data of mixed quality, allowing fast overview, and providing selection possibilities of contact groups having different data quality classifications. A tag cloud (e.g., including a time slider) shows topics of interest derived from contact interactions, thus providing visual indications.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2014Publication date: December 31, 2015Inventors: Arnulf Schueler, Sven-Eric Eigemann, Thomas Maag, Vytas Cirpus, Daniel Jakobs, Martin Zielonkowski, Huaiyang Mao, Dagmar Opitz, Shabana Ansari, Eduard Hess, Sonja Zscherpel, Michael Rey, Andreas Bettin, Stefan Nasshan, Nicolae Ciumac, Joerg Losat, Joachim Woerner, Christian Clasani, Stefan Daum, Michael Ohnemus, Rolf Schumann

Patent number: 8949855Abstract: A business object model, which reflects data that is used during a given business transaction, is utilized to generate interfaces. This business object model facilitates commercial transactions by providing consistent interfaces that are suitable for use across industries, across businesses, and across different departments within a business during a business transaction. In some operations, software creates, updates, or otherwise processes information related to an address snapshot and an approval process definition business object.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2012Date of Patent: February 3, 2015Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Andreas Bettin, Andreas Neumann, Frank Kohler, Gerd M. Ritter, Gunter Schmitt, Joachim Pfeifer, Marc-Oliver Genter, Michael Oemler, Robert B. Fuhge, Timo Wolf, Toralf Grossmann, Marita Kruempelmann, Erwin Pinter, Bernd Otte, Christoph Lange, Nitesh Pai

Patent number: 8930363Abstract: The present disclosure involves computer-implemented methods, software, and systems for efficiently handling address data in business transaction documents. A computer-implemented method includes receiving a modification to address data associated with an existing address instance, receiving, using at least one computer, an indication of a modification type, creating a new snapshot instance, associating the modified address data with the new snapshot instance, retrieving a unique reference value for the new address snapshot instance, and associating the unique reference value identifying the new address snapshot instance with the address instance.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2011Date of Patent: January 6, 2015Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Andreas Bettin, Andreas Neumann, Toralf Grossmann, Timo Wolf, Gerd M.
