  • Architectural design for self-service procurement application software
    Publication number: 20070156499
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for implementing a software architecture design for a software application implementing self-service procurement used to procure goods and services “ad hoc” by requests from within an organization. The application is structured as multiple process components interacting with each other through service interfaces, and multiple service interface operations, each being implemented for a respective process component. The process components include an Accounting process component, an Internal Request Processing process component, a Purchase Request Processing process component, a Purchase Order Processing process component, a Goods and Service Acknowledgement process component, a Supplier Invoice Processing process component, a Payment Processing process component, an RFQ Processing process component, and a Due Item Processing process component.

  • Purchasing hub for a procurement system
    Publication number: 20040267629
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for procuring items using a central computer system in a distributed network of computer systems. In one general aspect, the invention provides for receiving, at a central computer system, a first purchase request for a first item to be procured. The first purchase request is received from a first computer system in a network of computer systems and includes a first item category identifier that describes the first item. A second computer system in the network is selected based on the first item category identifier so that a purchase document may be created in the second computer system. The creation of the purchase document in the second computer system is controlled by the central computer system.
