  • Publication number: 20080114667
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automatically providing one or more event driven global available to promise services in a supply chain. In one implementation, the system includes an inbound interface for interfacing with a plurality of data storage devices, in at least one of which one or more documents are stored as data, wherein the one or more documents correspond to an activity. The system further includes an execution memory operable to hold a software system and a processor coupled to the inbound interface and the execution memory, the processor being operable to execute the software system such that the software system operates to assign the activity to a follow-up process on the basis of a condition profile.

  • Publication number: 20070124213
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automatically assigning an incoming quantity of goods in response to an event. In one implementation, a system is provided for automatically assigning an incoming quantity of goods in response to an event. The system comprises an inbound interface for interfacing with a plurality of data storage devices in at least one of which the incoming quantity of goods are stored as data and a plurality of sales orders to be confirmed are stored; an execution memory operable to hold a software system, and a processor for coupling to the inbound interface and the execution memory, the processor being operable to execute the software system such that the software system operates to select a subset of sales orders from the plurality of sales to be confirmed according to one or more predetermined criteria and to assign to the subset of sales orders the incoming quantity of goods.
