  • Patent number: 7886342
    Abstract: A computer implemented web based access control facility for a distributed environment, which allows users to request for access, take the request through appropriate approval work flow and finally make it available to the users and applications. This program also performs an automatic task of verifying the health of data, access control data as well as the entitlements, to avoid malicious user access. The system also provides an active interface to setup a backup, to delegate the duty in absence. Thus this system provides a comprehensive facility to grant, re-certify and control the entitlements and users in a distributed environment.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7606742
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for pre-processing electronic data requests within the EDI subsystem layer and within the order fulfillment application system. An order interceptor, third-party Available To Promise (ATP) interface, pseudo-sales order workbench, and the reject acknowledgment system processes are provided within the order fulfillment application system to accomplish the pre-processing. The order interceptor performs an asynchronous availability check before a sales order is posted. The result of the ATP check is stored in an ESO, and is applied during the posting process with unique user exits. The result of the ATP check is also used to determine key information about the sales order, such as the sales organization, and division and distribution channels. The pre-processor uses business rules to determine if the ESO should be split into multiple documents for requests satisfied across multiple sales areas.
