Systems and methods for using adaptive stock-keeping unit data structures

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• storing, in a non-transitory computer-readable medium, an adaptive stock-keeping unit (SKU) data structure having a schema comprising:
• (i) a procedure-key field storing a procedure identifier;
• (ii) a membership field storing an ordered list of underlying SKU identifiers;
• (iii) a dependency field storing quantity relationship entries that define, for at least one pair of underlying SKU identifiers, a propagation rule that maps a quantity change of a first underlying SKU identifier to a quantity change of a second underlying SKU identifier;
• and
• (iv) a rule field storing executable membership rules that define permitted membership modifications to the ordered list;
• receiving, via a network interface, an update message that identifies a change event for a first underlying SKU identifier in the membership field;
• updating, by one or more processors, the membership field by executing at least one executable membership rule selected based on the change event, wherein updating the membership field comprises at least one of replacing the first underlying SKU identifier, adding an additional underlying SKU identifier, or removing an underlying SKU identifier;
• performing, by the one or more processors, an incremental recomputation operation that updates quantities for a subset of underlying SKU identifiers affected by the membership modification by applying the quantity relationship entries in the dependency field;
• and
• storing, by the one or more processors, the updated quantities in association with the adaptive SKU data structure.

A non-transitory computer readable medium including one or more instructions stored thereon and executable by a processor to:

• store an adaptive stock-keeping unit (SKU) data structure having a schema comprising:
• (i) a procedure-key field storing a procedure identifier;
• (ii) a membership field storing an ordered list of underlying SKU identifiers;
• (iii) a dependency field storing quantity relationship entries that define, for at least one pair of underlying SKU identifiers, a propagation rule that maps a quantity change of a first underlying SKU identifier to a quantity change of a second underlying SKU identifier;
• and
• (iv) a rule field storing executable membership rules that define permitted membership modifications to the ordered list;
• receive, via a network interface, an update message that identifies a change event for a first underlying SKU identifier in the membership field;
• update the membership field by executing at least one executable membership rule selected based on the change event, wherein updating the membership field comprises at least one of replacing the first underlying SKU identifier, adding an additional underlying SKU identifier, or removing an underlying SKU identifier;
• perform an incremental recomputation operation that updates quantities for a subset of underlying SKU identifiers affected by the membership modification by applying the quantity relationship entries in the dependency field;
• and
• store the updated quantities in association with the adaptive SKU data structure.
