摘要:
The present disclosure is generally directed to systems and methods for simulating the cost of goods and/or services, and triggering procurement events based upon the simulated pricing. The systems and methods receive historic price data including purchasing volumes for the product(s) and/or service(s) that an organization procures in their normal course of business, anonymize the historic pricing data for each of the plurality of distinct organizational entities in order to generate aggregated historic pricing data, receive one or more procurement requests from a procurement system of the organization, calculate price predictions for goods and/or services based on information stored in an account database, identify one or more time periods and/or quantities for procuring requested goods and/or services, generate one or more procurement triggers indicating preferred period(s) for acquiring goods and/or services, and transmit the trigger(s) to the procurement system and/or an end user.

The subject matter disclosed herein provides methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for generating a list of object descriptions based on an object's relevance for documentation. In one aspect there is provided a method that may include accepting a setting for a filter and a setting for a flag of an object. The filter setting may represent a type of information to be included in a list of object descriptions. The flag setting may represent a category of documentation relevance for the object that may be stored in a repository. The method may include comparing the filter setting with the flag setting of the object, extracting the description of the object from the repository based on the comparing of the flag setting with the filter setting, and generating the list of object descriptions that includes a description of the object. Related systems, apparatus, methods, and/or articles are also described.

A method includes electronically searching for pricing and availability of travel components for a trip requested by an employee of an organization. The travel plan is optimized for cost and conformance to travel policies and rules of the organization by selecting travel components for the trip using a microprocessor-based solution. The optimized travel plan is presented on an interactive interface with decision tools to an agent of the organization for approval or automatic re-optimization with current pricing and availability of the travel components for the trip. Financial reports on cost savings achieved by optimization and re-optimization of the travel plans by organization and its units are presented.

Various embodiments of systems and methods for retrieving open purchase orders using an optimized search tool are described herein. The method involves rendering a set of search parameters on a graphical UI of a computer. In an aspect, the method further includes receiving data relating to at least a first search parameter of the set of search parameters. Further, the method includes determining that data relating to at least a second search parameter of the set of search parameters is unavailable and determining the data relating to the at least second search parameter based on extrapolating the data relating to the at least first search parameter. In an aspect, the method involves performing a search based on the data relating to the at least first search parameter and the at least second search parameter. Based on the performed search, one or more open purchase orders are retrieved for further processing.

Various embodiments of systems and methods for evaluating suppliers and performing green sourcing analysis based on customized sustainability metrics are described herein. The method in an integrated information management system involves configuring one or more criteria relating to a product as green sourcing metrics. The method further includes defining one or more constraints effecting interdependencies between the green sourcing metrics. In a further aspect, the method includes determining that the one or more constraints is fulfilled based on product data relating to one or more suppliers supplying the product and customizing the green sourcing metrics based on the one or more constraints that is fulfilled. In yet another aspect, the method involves performing green sourcing analysis for the one or more suppliers of the product based on the customized green sourcing metrics. Based on the green sourcing analysis, the one or more suppliers are evaluated and a sourcing recommendation is provided based on the evaluation.
摘要:
A method and system, the method including defining business criteria for business entities, the business criteria including at least one business object attribute; defining at least one business partner group set, each of the at least one business partner group set being associated with at least one business object attribute selected from the business criteria; and modifying, by the computer, a record of a business entity by assigning the business entity to one or more of the defined business partner group sets.
摘要:
A code of business standards can be defined for an entity according to at least one predetermined abstract business standard. The defining can include assigning, in the code of business standards, at least one threshold level of activity relating to the predetermined abstract business standard. Activity instances in the at least one area of activity involving the entity can be monitored, for example by identifying an activity instance in violation of the defined code of business standards. The identifying can include detecting that the activity instance exceeds the at least one threshold level of activity. A solution for resolving the identified activity instance can be generated and promoted. Related methods, system, and computer program products are also described.
