  • Recurrent notification framework
    Patent number: 10637945
    Abstract: A notification job is executed as a background job in a recurrent notification framework. The registered scenario along with the recurrent notification information is retrieved from a central notification scenario registration table. The user information along with an application context is retrieved from a notification scenario BADI. The user information along with a notification preference is retrieved from a user registration table. The mapping information of the user identifier and the device identifier is retrieved from the device registration table. Based on the retrieved information, the notification channel is identified from the recurrent notification information. A recurrent notification is sent through the notification channel to a device.

  • DATA VERIFICATION SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20140012830
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention may provide a system for asynchronous data verification processing. The processing may include receiving input data for verification. The processing may parse the input data into synchronous and asynchronous data verification tasks. The synchronous data verification tasks may include linking the input data to information stored in the system. The synchronous data verification tasks may further include checking the input data for typographical errors. The asynchronous data verification tasks may include comparing the input data to the linked system data, determining one or more differences between the input data and the linked system data that may be present, and reporting the differences to a user of the system.

  • Entry of invoice before goods receipt
    Publication number: 20070112650
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for suggesting item information for an invoice based on information in a related purchase order and/or goods receipt. Consistent with the principles of the invention, the procurement management system, upon initiation of an invoice entry, may search for a related purchase order and may determine whether any of the one or more items in the related purchase order have corresponding goods receipts. For those items in the related purchase order that are missing their expected goods receipts, the procurement management system may suggest item information obtained exclusively from the related purchase order. For those marked items that have been determined as having corresponding goods receipts, the procurement management system may obtain and verify information associated with these items from and against both the related purchase order and the items' corresponding goods receipts.

  • Invoice verification process
    Publication number: 20060089907
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for automatically verifying an invoice or credit memorandum and generating a payment or crediting an account. Upon receipt of a paper invoice or credit memorandum, an electronic invoice or credit memorandum having identifiable content may be generated using, for example, optical character recognition (OCR) technology. The invoice or credit memorandum may be automatically verified by comparing content received in the invoice or credit memorandum to records that are maintained describing the transaction. For example, the invoice or credit memorandum may be linked to a purchase order to verify whether any discrepancies exist. Additionally, a check may be made to ensure that the invoice or credit memorandum is not a duplicate. After verification is complete, the invoice or credit memorandum may be processed by an accounts payable system to either pay an outstanding balance or recognize a credit.
