摘要： A computer-implemented and Internet-based method of managing Accounts Receivable (AR) information includes steps of receiving a customer request for remote Internet access to AR information (such as pending invoices) owned by vendor; retrieving the customer's AR information from a database and enabling the retrieved AR information to be remotely displayed for the customer and enabling the vendor's internal personnel to retrieve and to display the customer's AR information simultaneously as the AR information is displayed for the customer. The customer may dispute an invoice accessed from the database by accessing the vendor's Web site and by selecting a reason code for the dispute and at least a disputed amount to create a pending Credit Memo Request, all without direct manual involvement from the vendor. The pending Credit Memo Request may then sent to and routed through a selected process for the selected reason code, a selected hierarchy of persons empowered to approve Credit Memo Request incorporating the selected reason code and/or a primary approver for the selected reason code. Upon approval of the Credit Memo Request, a Credit Memo may be automatically generated and the disputed amount may be credited to the disputed invoice. The customer may be notified of the approval or rejection of the Credit Memo Request, as may be selected personnel internal to the vendor. Real time balances may be available to the customer on a self-serve basis, as are other common AR-related services.

摘要： This disclosure describes, generally, methods and systems for supporting multiple deployment models for enterprise business applications. In one embodiment, the method may include designating pillars associated with an enterprise business application. Each pillar may include application units which comprise logical groupings for application units used in the enterprise business application. The method may further include determining which of the application units are dependent to more than one of the pillars. Furthermore, based on the determination of the dependent application units, the method may generate deployment code associated with the dependent application units which is configured to be deployment model independent. The method may then receive, at deployment time, a deployment model designation indicating a type of deployment model selected to be used for the enterprise business application. Then, the enterprise business application may be deployed according to the deployment model designation.

摘要： A method for matching remittances to transactions is disclosed. The method for matching remittances to transactions uses a processing paradigm based on weighted scoring and fuzzy logic that is easy to maintain and fosters the use of logic based on the summarization of payments. The system and method also matches remittances to particular transactions with relaxed sensitivity to where identifying markers may be placed on a remittance and is resistant to typographical data entry errors. Further, the system and method is flexible with regards to handling various kinds of information that can result in accurate, precise matching without discarding or overlooking such information.

摘要： Disclosed herein are methods and systems for a credit grantor to manage a credit of a credit requestor. The method may include steps of, upon the occurrence of an event: assigning a Credit Classification to the credit requestor, the Credit Classification being related to the credit risk of the credit requestor and determining the Type of Review to carry out for the credit requestor based upon a nature of the event. A checklists of data items required to be collected may then be selected or assembled, the data items of the checklist being determined at least by a combination of the assigned Credit Classification and the determined Type of Review. A case folder for the requestor may then be created or updated, the case folder including the selected checklist of data items to be collected. A value for each required data item of the selected checklist may then be collected and stored in the case folder. The collected data items in the case folder may then be analyzed according to a score sheet and a workflow, the score sheet being determined at least by the combination of the assigned Credit Classification and determined Type of Review. A credit score for the credit requestor may the be calculated, and a recommended action generated (and optionally implemented) based upon the calculated credit score.
