Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods for handling invoice based services are described herein. In one aspect, the method executed by the one or more computers in a network of computers includes receiving an invoice service message related to a business process, analyzing the invoice service message, based upon the analysis, identifying a business-specific implementation, from one or more business-specific implementations, for processing the invoice service message, and executing the business-specific implementation to process the invoice service message. The automatic identification of the business-specific implementation for processing the invoice service message relieves a business partner from specifying an application-specific interface for processing the invoice service message.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to forming a network of associations among records of a computer database. The records may relate to logistical operations, and the associations may reflect a status of the logistical operations. According to embodiments, values representing quantities of goods bought, sold and transferred pursuant to the logistical operations may be assigned to the associations to indicate initial conditions and changes in the status of the logistical operations as they go forward.
