Abstract
Among other disclosed subject matter, a computer-implemented method for making an availability determination regarding a requested ware includes identifying a first request to provide a quantity of a ware at a first date. The method includes recording, in response to the first request, a second request for a critical part of the ware, the second request to be satisfied at a second date selected using the first date. The method includes determining a confirmation date for the critical part based on the second request. The method includes generating a confirmation for the first request using the confirmation date.
Claims19
A computer-implemented method for making an availability determination regarding a requested ware, the method comprising:
- identifying a first request to provide a quantity of a ware at a first date;
- recording, in response to the first request, a second request for a critical part of the ware, the second request to be satisfied at a second date selected using the first date;
- determining a confirmation date for the critical part based on the second request;
- and
- generating a confirmation for the first request using the confirmation date.
A computer program product tangibly embodied in a computer-readable storage medium and comprising instructions that when executed by a processor perform a method for making an availability determination regarding a requested ware, the method comprising:
- identifying a first request to provide a quantity of a ware at a first date;
- recording, in response to the first request, a second request for a critical part of the ware, the second request to be satisfied at a second date selected using the first date;
- determining a confirmation date for the critical part based on the second request;
- and
- generating a confirmation for the first request using the confirmation date.
A computer program product tangibly embodied in a computer-readable storage medium, the computer program product including instructions that, when executed, generate on a display device a graphical user interface for specifying an availability determination regarding a ware, the graphical user interface comprising:
- a critical part area configured for a user to (i) specify that a part identified in the critical part area is to be recognized as a critical part for providing a ware, and (ii) associate one of a plurality of supply scopes with the critical part for making a first availability determination regarding the critical part;
- wherein the critical part area is configured so that a second availability determination regarding the ware takes into account the first availability determination regarding the critical part.
