Abstract

A business object model, which reflects data that is used during a given business transaction, is utilized to generate interfaces. This business object model facilitates commercial transactions by providing consistent interfaces that are suitable for use across industries, across businesses, and across different departments within a business during a business transaction. In some operations, software creates, updates, or otherwise processes information related to a site logistics confirmation and a site logistics request business object.

Claims11

Dependent claims

A computer readable medium including program code for providing a message-based interface for exchanging information about site logistics confirmations, the medium comprising:

program code for receiving via a message-based interface exposing at least one service as defined in a service registry and from a heterogeneous application executing in an environment of computer systems providing message-based services, a first message for a query about an overview of site logistics confirmation inventory change items, the first message including a message package hierarchically organized as:
a site logistics confirmation inventory change item overview simple by elements query sync message entity;
a site logistics confirmation inventory change item overview simple selection by elements package including a site logistics confirmation inventory change item overview simple selection by elements entity, wherein the site logistics confirmation inventory change item overview simple selection by elements entity includes at least one of the following:
at least one selection by inventory location inventory type code, at least one selection by inventory location location universally unique identifier (UUID), at least one selection by inventory location location identifier (ID), at least one selection by inventory location custodian party UUID, at least one selection by inventory location custodian party internal ID, at least one selection by inventory location logistics area UUID, and at least one selection by inventory location logistics area key ID;
and
a processing conditions package including a processing conditions entity;
and
program code for sending a second message to the heterogeneous application responsive to the first message.

5 more elements

A distributed system operating in a landscape of computer systems providing message-based services defined in a service registry, the system comprising:

a graphical user interface comprising computer readable instructions, embedded on tangible media, for a query about an overview of site logistics confirmation inventory change items, the instructions using a request;
a first memory storing a user interface controller for processing the request and involving a message including a message package hierarchically organized as:
a site logistics confirmation inventory change item overview simple by elements query sync message entity;
a site logistics confirmation inventory change item overview simple selection by elements package including a site logistics confirmation inventory change item overview simple selection by elements entity, wherein the site logistics confirmation inventory change item overview simple selection by elements entity includes at least one of the following:
at least one selection by inventory location inventory type code, at least one selection by inventory location location universally unique identifier (UUID), at least one selection by inventory location location identifier (ID), at least one selection by inventory location custodian party UUID, at least one selection by inventory location custodian party internal ID, at least one selection by inventory location logistics area UUID, and at least one selection by inventory location logistics area key ID;
and
a processing conditions package including a processing conditions entity;
and
a second memory, remote from the graphical user interface, storing a plurality of service interfaces, wherein one of the service interfaces is operable to process the message via the service interface.

6 more elements

A computer readable medium including program code for providing a message-based interface for exchanging information about site logistics request, the medium comprising:

program code for receiving via a message-based interface exposing at least one service as defined in a service registry and from a heterogeneous application executing in an environment of computer systems providing message-based services, a first message for a request to a warehouse provider to execute a delivery of goods, the first message including a message package hierarchically organized as:
an outbound delivery execution request message entity;
and
an outbound delivery execution request package including an outbound delivery execution request entity, wherein the outbound delivery execution request entity includes an outbound delivery execution entity from an outbound delivery execution package, wherein the outbound delivery execution entity includes an identifier, a type code and a sender last change date time, wherein the outbound delivery execution entity further includes a vendor party entity from a party package, a product recipient party from the party package, and at least one item entity from an item package, and wherein each item entity includes an identifier and a type code;
and
program code for sending a second message to the heterogeneous application responsive to the first message.
