Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for administrating an order. In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method is provided. The method includes the steps of receiving, by a first participant, a customer order and checking the availability of an ordered quantity of products within a first group of inventory data objects. Further, the availability of the ordered quantity of products is checked within a second group of inventory data objects, if the ordered products were not found within the first group. The checking may be repeated for additional groups until the ordered products are found or any further group is no longer available. Thereafter, the ordered quantity of products is delivered to the customer.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for processing a product order which is directed from a customer to a first supplier. In one implementation, a computer-implemented method is provided that includes receiving a product order from a customer. Based on the received product order, the method determines products to be procured by a supplier that is external with respect to the first supplier. The method further determines at least one external supplier which is able to provide the products and transmits a purchase order for the available products to the external supplier.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for processing, within a supply chain management system, a product order received from a customer. In one implementation, a method is provided that comprises determining, based on the received order, a consolidation location for the products and performing a TPOP check for at least a part of the products at a location which is external with respect to the supply chain management system. The method also includes shipping the products found to be available at the external location to the consolidation location and processing the products at the consolidation location.
