Abstract: A document is received. The document is analyzed to discover text and structures of content included in the document. A result of the analysis is used to determine intermediate text representations of segments of the content included in the document, wherein at least one of the intermediate text representations includes an added text encoding the discovered structure of the corresponding content segment within a structural layout of the document. The intermediate text representations are used as an input to a machine learning model to extract information of interest in the document. One or more structured records of the extracted information of interest are created.

Abstract: An embodiment may include persistent storage containing a plurality of software models and a plurality of entitlements thereto, wherein the software models include suite software models with associated downgrade rights. The embodiment may also involve: determining that a first suite software model contains a second suite software model; determining that the first suite software model is associated with a first set of downgrade rights to earlier versions thereof and the second suite software model is associated with a second set of downgrade rights to earlier versions thereof; sorting a list of the first suite software model, the earlier versions thereof, the second suite software model, and the earlier versions thereof in increasing order of version and height value; traversing the list to find a matching suite software model for a particular suite of the software applications; and assigning an entitlement for the matching suite software model to the particular suite.

Abstract: A method of managing software design specifications with functional rule versioning may include storing references to a plurality of software components in a database system, and storing references to a plurality of functional rules in the database system. In some embodiments, the functional rules may define behaviors that may be assigned to the plurality of software components. The method may also include receiving a selection of one or more software components from the plurality of software components. The one or more software components may define a software product. The method may additionally include receiving assignments of the plurality of functional rules to the one or more software components, and providing an interface for navigating through the one or more software components and editing the assignments.

Abstract: A system is provided that manages consigned inventory procurement. The system generates an agreement including consignment terms and purchasing terms. The system further generates a consignment order for consigned inventory items, where the consignment order references the agreement. The system further generates a receipt in response to receiving the consigned inventory items, where the receipt references the consignment order. The system further generates a consumption advice in response to a consumption of a consigned inventory item, where the consumption advice references the agreement and the receipt. The system further sends the consumption advice to a supplier. The system further generates an invoice for the consigned inventory item in response to receiving a supplier invoice from the supplier, where the invoice references the consumption advice. The system further generates a payment for the consigned inventory item in response to a receipt of the invoice, where the payment references the invoice.

Abstract: A rules engine uses a set of sequenced rules in determining which rule to apply when assigning buyers in a procurement organization to requisitions submitted to the procurement organization. The rules are user-configurable to provide flexible reconfiguration of how the rules engine determines buyer assignments. Attributes of the requisitions may be utilized to determine the appropriate buyers by comparing the attributes with the rules. Sequencing of the rules allows for prioritization of the rules in instances where multiple rules may be applicable to a received requisition. Updates to a rule set can be tested on sample requisitions to allow users to see the results of the updates.

Abstract: In one embodiment, controls for an agreement from a supplier are set up. The agreement includes a plurality of items for purchase. The controls may be used to determine a degree of touchlessness in the buying of the items. The controls may be configured at the agreement level. A requisition from a requester for a target item is received. In one embodiment, sourcing rules and ASLs may be searched to determine if a sourcing rule and ASL applies to the item. If so, then the sourcing rule and ASL may be used to determine an agreement. If a sourcing rule and ASL do not apply, agreements can be searched to determine an agreement for the target item. Once the agreement is determined, controls are determined from the agreement, where the controls govern the plurality of items of the agreement.
