  • Inventory tracking objects
    Publication number: 20070174155
    Abstract: A system has a plurality of operational components within a value chain. A due management operational component within the value chain has a due inventory object that provides central storage for payments due from customers.

  • Internally unique referencing for correlation
    Publication number: 20070156426
    Abstract: A method of identifying transactions in a value chain involves representing multiple business documents associated with a value chain with unique internal representations. In one embodiment, a contract is represented with a first unique internal representation, a purchase order is represented with a second unique internal representation, and an invoice is represented with a third unique internal representation. In a further embodiment, business partner communications are correlated to one of the internal representations to identify a corresponding value chain.

  • Cancellation of transactions
    Publication number: 20070156535
    Abstract: Cancellation of transactions is detected in a business operations system, and a cancellation message uniquely identifying an operational document describing the transaction is created. The cancellation message is sent to various components in the business operations system and to other systems as desired. The receiving entity is free to select actions taken in response to the cancellation. In one embodiment, a primary copy of the operational document, referred to as prima nota, is referenced by a unique internal reference identifier. In further embodiments, the cancellation message may also reference prima nota of a cancellation document.

  • System and method for facilitating open item clearance
    Publication number: 20070108266
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for assisting a user in clearing payments against vouchers in a financial system. A payment requiring user attention may be displayed to the user in an interface of the financial system. The financial system may automatically suggest at least one voucher to balance the payment. The user may also select at least one voucher to balance the payment from a plurality of available vouchers. If the difference between the payment and the combined total of the selected vouchers equals zero, the financial system may allow the user to clear the payment against the selected vouchers. If the system-suggested vouchers are not the ones the user would choose for clearing the payment, the financial system may allow the user to select vouchers to clear the payment.

  • Method for the automatic integrated filing of records during recording of business events
    Publication number: 20060178956
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for automatically filing records concerning business events in a computer system so that the records are accessible to a business application. An identification code is assigned to a business event having a data structure that is represented in the computer system. At least one set of input data, which is provided with a structure specific to a class of business events, is created from data concerning a business event. The at least one set of input data is transformed into a set of output data, which is accessible by at least two business applications. The set of output data is stored with the assigned identification code such that the set of output data can be fully or partly read by the at least two business applications by referring to the identification code.
