Abstract: A method, a system, and a computer program product for execution master data substitution. One or more first data objects in a master data storage are determined for replacement. One or more second data objects are identified for replacing the first data objects for storage in the master data storage. Replacement of the first data objects with the second data objects is performed in accordance with one or more data object requirements. Replacement of the first data objects by the second data objects is executed in accordance with the one or more data object requirements. A resulting replacement data set is generated and stored.

Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for generating a hierarchy. In one example, a method includes receiving a first data graph including a plurality of nodes and links connecting the plurality of nodes, receiving a second data graph including a second plurality of nodes and links connecting the second plurality of nodes, generating a hierarchy based on the first data graph and the second data graph, where the generated hierarchy includes a plurality of levels, nodes from the first data graph arranged on at least one level, nodes from the second data graph arranged on at least one other level, and links connecting the nodes from the first data graph and the nodes from the second data graph, and indicating a relationships between the first and second data items, and outputting the generated hierarchy for at least one of display and further processing.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a system and process that manages scheduling and processing of orders to provide improved delivery schedules. The system attempts to schedule package deliveries in time to meet a requested delivery target time and date. This scheduling attempts to schedule a shipping time for the current day to meet next day or nearer term deadlines. The scheduling system examines schedules and shipping locations that are not optimal for minimizing costs, but provide more timely delivery including examining locations other that a facing location for shipment.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for processing a product order. In one implementation, a method is provided that includes receiving a product order from a customer and determining, based on the received product order, at least one of a date on which the products should be available at a location and a date by which the products should be issued out of the location. The method may also include calculating, based on the determined date, a sourcing due date on which to initiate sourcing, and performing an availability check for the ordered products on the basis of the dates when the sourcing due date is earlier than a predetermined date.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system for generating a deviation result for a work order. The generation of the deviation analysis results involves initiating a deviation analysis for a work order, determining a comparison group for deviation analysis based on an available data and a planned data, generating a deviation analysis result for the comparison group and updating a status of the work order with the deviation analysis result.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses enable determination of consensus between parties to a business transaction. A receiving party of the transaction has a delivery expectation, and a supplying party has a proposed delivery. The delivery expectation and the proposed delivery are represented in transaction data. A consensus determination framework receives the transaction data and dynamically selects one or more consensus parameters to evaluate the transaction data for consensus between the delivery expectation and the proposed delivery. The consensus parameter may be a consensus rule defining a consensus function to perform on the transaction data, and/or a consensus profile indicating acceptable ranges. The consensus framework generates a consensus report to indicate whether consensus is found, and/or what consensus exists, in accordance with the consensus parameter.
