Abstract: A method and system for receiving, storing, calculating, creating and making accessible sub ledgers to some or all of the business parties sharing a cloud computing space are provided. A business transaction which creates an accounting event is engaged in. As a result, an open item in the first party's sub ledger relating to the business transaction is created. A corresponding open item in the second party's sub ledger based on the open item in the first party's sub ledger is created. The open item and the corresponding open item is presented to the parties.

Abstract: An apparatus, method and computer-readable storage medium to efficiently create and model ERP representations of an organization (ORG). Predefined ERP entities may be presented to a user. The user may instantiate (or create) one or more of the presented entities. The user may be presented with predefined dimension types and available dimension values for the instantiated entity. The user may select/assign values to the dimension types, and as a result, the available values for other dimension types of one or more instantiated entities may decrease.

Abstract: Centralized process context and information context are provided for a computer system having an enterprise service architecture platform. The process context is a centrally accessible object storing and providing status data generated during performance of a process flow. The process context permits firm personnel to review performance of the process flow, for example, to determine its status and to identify any business exceptions that may have occurred therein. The information context caches information generated during performance of the process flow. It provides data on which to assess firm performance parameters, for example, time elapsed during performance of each process step and it provides a detailed set of information describing the process business activity. The process context and information context support higher-level monitoring functions.

Abstract: Banking software application development includes defining a plurality of banking object terms, each of these terms relating to components of a banking relationship. Additionally, the software is developed by defining a plurality of responsibility area terms, each of these terms relating to banking activities, wherein each of the responsibility area terms includes at least one of the banking object terms. From the defined relationships, the software is developed by generating a solution foundation for at least one of the responsibility area terms by defining relationships between the plurality of business object terms. Therefore, the banking software application is developed based on the solution foundation.

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.

Abstract: A sending device sends a key and financial data to a receiver device and a reconciliation device in a business intelligence system. The receiver device verifies the key and sends the verified key and financial data to the business intelligence system. The reconciliation device selects the data sets based on the keys and thereupon compares the financial data. If the comparison reveals the data sets as being proper matches, the financial data is considered reconciled and can then be cleared. If not, the non-reconciled data in the data set may be archived for later reconciliation operations at future time intervals or may be resubmitted to the sending device for reevaluation. The inclusion of addition data and an interaction between various financial processing instruments allows for the reconciliation of business intelligence data in a business intelligence application/system.

Abstract: A computer system is provided for modeling the structure of an enterprise comprising a first class of objects. An object of the class may represent an organizational unit of the enterprise. The class may comprise a method for assigning and/or deassigning to an object of the class at least one attribute from at least five types of attributes comprising: a first type describing a work to be performed by the unit; a second type describing a legal entity, which the unit represents; a third type describing a disciplinary or line management properties of the unit; a fourth type describing a financial responsibility of the unit; and a fifth type describing a location, which the unit represents. The system may further include means for assigning and/or deassigning to an object of said class at least one property depending on the assigned attribute.
