Patent number: 11882001Abstract: Techniques and solutions are provided for determining changes to networks formed from network objects. Changes to network objects, such as addition or deletion operations are received and associated with timestamps. Last data changes for respective network objects are determined, including a last data change for a particular type associated with a respective networked object, where a networked object may be concurrently associated with a plurality of types. A first network object is removed from a first network, and contributions of the first network object to edges in the first network are removed. A second network object is associated with an addition operation and at least one edge is determined that connects the second network object and a third network object. Sets of disconnected network objects are determined. Network objects are associated with an identifier identifying a network that includes a respective network object.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2022Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Konstantin Skodinis, Holger Huene, Thomas Gross-Boelting, Michael Mueller

Patent number: 10956400Abstract: Querying a data set formed from a version of primary data and secondary data is facilitated. First and second versions of primary data are stored in a primary data version store. Secondary data is received. The secondary data is stored in a secondary data store. A query language statement is received. The query language statement is executed by selecting query results from a data set that includes the secondary data and elements of the first version of primary data not inconsistent with the secondary data.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2016Date of Patent: March 23, 2021Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Frank Feiks, Thomas Gross-Boelting, Michael Mueller, Armin Weidenschlager, Anton Forstreuter, Xiaomeng Wang, Florian Roeger, Jordan Tchorbadjiyski, Ruadhan MacFadden

Patent number: 8190465Abstract: In various implementations, a sales order are received from a sales order requester for at least one good, wherein the sales order includes product options for ordered goods via a sales product requirement specification object. A sales order confirmation is generated at least partially based on the sales order and a plan for production of the ordered goods. The ordered goods to be produced based on the plan are allowed. And an outbound delivery request defined by a planning product requirement specification object is generated, wherein the ordered goods are delivered to the sales order requestor based on the delivery request.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2008Date of Patent: May 29, 2012Assignee: SAP AGInventors: Bernhard Lokowandt, Achim Clemens, Reiner Bildmayer, Thomas Gross-Boelting, Klaus Reinelt

Publication number: 20090171736Abstract: Methods, systems, and software for determining sources of supply are provided. The system for determining sources of supply is centralized so as to be accessible to a plurality of clients. Sources of supply may be determined and the results prioritized according to user defined criteria. Specifically, the system may offer or facilitate a reusable, centralized service that can data mine sources of supply, which are stored in a business object. These sources of supply may include transportation lane, purchase contract, scheduling agreement, material costing, and any other suitable sources of supply. In some cases, this example system can assign priorities to centralized sources of supply that may help make decisions easier for the planner.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 31, 2007Publication date: July 2, 2009Applicant: SAP AGInventors: Michael Segler, Thomas John, Kristina Grunewald, Stefan Siebert, Thomas Gross-Boelting, Bernhard Lokowandt, Michael Hartel

Publication number: 20070050233Abstract: A computer system and method for synchronizing sales order confirmations and material flow determinations in a supply chain management (SCM) environment. For example, a method according to one embodiment of the invention comprises: receiving an indication of a new sales order having associated therewith a desired quantity and a desired delivery date; determining whether the desired quantity can be promised by the desired delivery date based on current receipts; and generating a fixed pegging relationship between the new sales order and receipts identified to satisfy the sales order if the desired quantity can be promised by the desired date.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2005Publication date: March 1, 2007Inventors: Andre Doerfler, Thomas Gross-Boelting, Bernhard Lokowandt, Dirk Meier-Barthold, Stefan Siebert
