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: Systems and methods are provided herein for a single job backorder processing using prioritized requirements. Data comprising a plurality of requirements associated with an availability check is received. Each requirement comprises a confirmation strategy including a check prioritizer. The plurality of requirements are sorted in a hierarchical order based on the check prioritizer and the confirmation strategy. A cluster is determined based on the sorted plurality of requirements. The cluster is iteratively evaluated with availability data stored in a remote data store to determine availability of the cluster. Result analytics corresponding to the availability of the cluster are provided.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for managing the delivery of ordered products from at least one supplier location to a customer via at least one consolidation location within a supply chain management system. In one embodiment, the availability of the ordered products is checked based on a plurality of ATP rules, the plurality of ATP rules comprising the at least one supplier location which is to be checked for availability of the ordered products. Furthermore, at least one ATP rule further defines the at least one consolidation location and the at least one consolidation location is selected from the at least one ATP rule and checked for availability of the ordered products.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for creating and managing structured order items. In one embodiment, a method is provided for creating and managing structured order items according to a customer order within a supply chain management system, wherein the customer order specifies a plurality of products and required quantities thereof. The method comprises the steps of checking availability of the required quantity of the products, and comparing the available quantity of the products with the ordered quantity of the products. The method further comprises replacing the ordered product by a variant product, if the available quantity of the product does not correspond to the ordered quantity of the product, the variant product comprising a plurality of replacement products. Additionally, the method includes creating structured order items according to the variant product, and updating the customer order to replace the ordered product with the structured order items.

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 apparatuses enable linking stateful transactions with multiple separate systems. The first and second stateful transactions are associated with a transaction identifier. Real time data from each of the multiple systems is concurrently presented within a single operation context to provide a transparent user experience. Context data may be passed from one system to another to provide a context in which operations in the separate systems can be linked.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for identifying replacement parts. Replacement parts may be identified although they do not correlate to obsolete parts on a one-to-one basis. Both replaced parts and their substitutes may be tracked by, for example, associating an identifier with the part. Each identifier may be a string of characters that uniquely refers to the part. The identifier of the replaced part may be linked to an array of identifiers, each corresponding to a replacement part. A user may enter the identifier of the replaced part and retrieve data corresponding to each of the substitutes. During the lifecycle of the product, replacement parts may be replaced. Data may be retrieved showing a hierarchy describing a history of multiple replacements. The user need not know that a part has been replaced to retrieve re-designed or remanufactured part information.

Abstract: The invention provides a system for available-to-promise checks comprising: calculation means for evaluating queries concerning available-to-promise checks; an interface means which is adapted for receiving queries concerning available-to-promise checks from an external calling system, for transferring queries to the calculation means, for storing results of the available-to-promise checks, for outputting the results of the available-to-promise checks to the external calling system; the queries having the form of input tables comprising keys for handing over parameters from the external calling system to be used in the calculation means; and the results having the form of output tables comprising the results according to the query; whereby the input tables and the output tables being separated from each other in order to divide the result of the available-to-promise checks from the query data itself and so to provide one-to-one identification of input table and output table.
