Publication number: 20240114058Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for providing recommendations for sets of security operations for improving security of documents created or executed within an online document system. A supplier entity may select sets of security operations to be performed for a request provided to a signing entity. The online document system computes an aggregate measure of security for the selected sets of security operations and compares it to a threshold measure of security. If the aggregate measure is less than the threshold measure, the online document system uses a machine-learned model to identify additional sets of security operations that when added, results in an updated aggregate measure of security greater than the threshold. The additional sets of security operations are presented to the supplier entity for inclusion within a security operation workflow in combination with the selected sets of security operations.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Darren Hon Kit Louie, Blake Thomas Walsh, Reid B.

Publication number: 20020184123Abstract: A system and method for performing Electronic Invoice Presentment and Payment (EIPP) dispute resolution processing with line item granularity is disclosed. A server makes available to a purchasing entity one or more invoices that each contain one or more line items that have been provided by a providing entity. A designated approver associated with the purchasing entity approves or rejects the line items and submits these decisions to the server. In response to disputed line items, the server initiates a dispute resolution process that includes making an indication of the disputed line items available to the providing entity, facilitating a provider resolution process whereby resolvers associated with the provider may dispute or approve the disputed line items reflected in the indication, and making the results of the provider resolution process available to the purchasing entity.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2001Publication date: December 5, 2002Applicant: Sun Microsystems, Inc.Inventors: Michael Anthony Sijacic, Michal Chmielewski, Blake Groves

Publication number: 20020184121Abstract: A system and method for performing Electronic Invoice Presentment and Payment (EIPP) processing at a line item granularity is disclosed. A server enables a purchasing entity to designate approvers for selected departments within the purchasing entity. The server receives from a providing entity invoices that each include one or more line items. The server processes the invoices and stores line item data associated with each line item in a database. Using the line items included in the invoices, the server determines departments that each line item is associated with and whether each department has a designated approver. In response to a notification message from the server, an approver may request access to invoice information associated with their department. The server accesses the database and makes available only information associated with line items included in the invoices that are associated with the approver's corresponding department.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2001Publication date: December 5, 2002Applicant: Sun Microsystems, Inc.Inventors: Michael Anthony Sijacic, Michal Chmielewski, Blake Groves, Praveena Varadarajan, Ryan Nguyen, Shailendra Goel
