  • Publication number: 20140006233
    Abstract: A business object model, which reflects data that is used during a given business transaction, is utilized to generate interfaces. This business object model facilitates commercial transactions by providing consistent interfaces that are suitable for use across industries, across businesses, and across different departments within a business during a business transaction. In some operations, software creates, updates, or otherwise processes information related to a financial accounting view of cost object expense list and a financials view of contract business object.

  • Patent number: 7370244
    Abstract: Techniques for error handling are described for errors detected by a computer application that receives and processes application transaction data generated by a different computer application. A determination is made as to the type of error that has been detected. Based on the determination, error correction guidance is displayed to a user for use in using the computer application that received the application transaction data to correct the error. In response to receiving an indication that the error has been corrected by the user, processing of the application transaction data by the receiving computer application is initiated.

  • Patent number: 7296192
    Abstract: Techniques for error handling are described for errors detected by a computer application that receives and processes application transaction data generated by a different computer application. A determination is made as to whether an error can be corrected through the use of the receiving computer application. If not, an indication of the error is sent to the computer application that generated the application transaction data so that the error may be corrected using that computer application. If the error can be corrected by using the receiving computer application, an error correction component stores information so that the error can be corrected through the use of the receiving computer application.

  • Publication number: 20050081523
    Abstract: In an internal combustion engine for a motor vehicle having an intake air charger for increasing the pressure of the air supplied to the engine, a charge air cooler for cooing the charge air supplied to the engine and a control arrangement for controlling the temperature of the charge air flow to the engine, the control arrangement includes an air flow control element arranged in the charge air cooler for blocking at least sections of the charge air cooler so as to reduce the effective heat exchange surface area in the charge air cooler depending on operating parameters.
