Abstract

A fulfillment server (16) managing ATP data in a distributed supply chain planning environment receives an ATP request (30) from one of multiple clients (12). The ATP request (30) includes multiple request line-items that each correspond to a desired product. The fulfillment server (16) then generates one or more component ATP requests (32) based on the request line-items and communicates component ATP requests (32) to at least one of multiple local fulfillment managers (14). In response, the fulfillment server (16) receives component quotations (34) from the local fulfillment managers (14), each corresponding to a component ATP request (32) and each including product availability information for the corresponding desired product. The fulfillment server (16) generates a quotation (36) that includes product availability information for all desired products, according to the component quotations (34), and communicates the quotation (36) to the client (12).

4 6 4 8 1 5 A7 B7 Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs V. Invention Description (This invention is related to supply chain planning, especially the system and order management in a decentralized supply chain planning environment. Method s Large and complex supply chains are usually managed by multiple planning systems, each of which supports one or more planning engines required by the system. For example, a system may support a supply chain planner engine (SCp), And another system may support the plant planner (FP) engine, and another system may support another planning engine. Therefore, tasks such as supply and demand matching, product configuration, order acceptance and fulfillment may use various logical and geographically dispersed planning Engines are managed. This creates problems for both consumers and suppliers. The lack of a clear understanding of decentralized supply chain operations often prevents companies from immediately providing the correct delivery date and meeting customer needs. Even with appropriate clarity, front-end and end-end companies Lack of integration may lead to low-profitable products consuming capacity, important marketing Channels are not treated as well as less important marketing channels and other non-optimized commitments. In addition, once delivery dates and other commitments have been released, production and logistics execution processes must be monitored for these commitments to determine unexpected supply And the result of changes in demand. Therefore, 'in a decentralized supply chain planning environment, there must be a single and consistent interface with customers to facilitate order acceptance and fulfillment. 9 Lack of such capabilities will absorb order, delivery execution, and inventory management. Related costs, order processing, and other activities have negatively affected, and although many efforts have been invested in recent years, it has not been possible to successfully provide an effective solution to manage order promises and fulfillment across the entire computer network in a decentralized supply chain planning environment. Some companies have developed acceptable front-end or "consumer-centric" solutions, while others are working to achieve

Description of invention (2) Appropriate end-supply chain optimal solutions, so far no one has successfully integrated these front-end and end-end solutions in order to be wise Manage order commitment and fulfillment in this environment. So, for example, companies routinely over-take orders and then in some cases will suffer losses in order to satisfy those orders. 3 In order to compete effectively in the expanding global network economy, companies must be able to do business in conjunction with corporate purposes Make precise commitments and fulfill them in an effective and profitable way. ~ • In addition, in the multi-company effort, it is not feasible to re-deploy the systems in the supply key based on economic or at least political considerations. Therefore, in order for the programme system to be routinely re-deployable in most cases, we must have the ability to reconcile existing systems so that these systems can be extended in order to introduce more complex alternative systems in the future. Such a solution system must eventually coexist with existing or alternative systems. Conventional order commitment and fulfillment management techniques cannot adequately meet these needs. According to the present invention, problems related to supply chain planning and order fulfillment in a decentralized network environment can be effectively reduced or eliminated. An embodiment of the present invention provides a system for automatically managing promised (ATp) data, including a user interface and an ATP server interface. The server uses the user interface to receive the _ATP request. The first ATP request contains a plurality of requested line items, each line item corresponding to a desired product. The fulfillment server generates one or more component ATp requests according to the request line item 'and uses the ATP server interface to send the component ATP request to at least one of the plurality of ATP feeders.

Description of the invention (3) Price Corresponds to a component ATP request and contains supply information for one or more corresponding demand products. The fulfillment server generates a quotation based on the product supply information provided by the component compensation and sends the quotation back using the user interface. Another embodiment of the present invention provides an area fulfillment manager (LFM), which is equipped with an associated promise (ATP) server, and operates in a decentralized supply chain planning environment containing other LFMs. The lfm contains the interface between the fulfillment server and the ATP server. The LFM receives one or more component ATP requests from fulfilling feeders. Each component ATP request corresponds to a specific ATP request line item of a demand item. The LFM uses its own ATP server to determine the ATP response of each request line item. And according to the relevant ATP response, a component quotation for each requested line item is generated. The component quotation contains product supply information for the required product. The LFM sends component quotes to the fulfillment server for integration with other component quotes from one or more other LFMs. The present invention provides important technical advantages. The fulfillment server and LFM of the present invention can be customized according to specific users, customers, and supplies. Merchants and any other business restrictions simultaneously and intelligently manage complex multi-line item ATp requests from a large number of clients for order promises and fulfillment. When Ding? When the server is located in a different area from other ATP servers and fulfillment servers and is connected by the Internet, the advantages of the present invention are particularly significant. In addition, when the ATP server belongs to different enterprises, the fulfillment server establishes the basis of promise and fulfillment capability, which was not possible before. The invention also provides a single interface for the client, which can be used for ATP request, quotation, confirmation, and acceptance acceptance. These functions may depend on or affect the ATP product configuration, raw material supply or Yield. This provides the expansion required by the client.

Interaction between servers 16. In one embodiment, the LFM22 is a light engine, and its main function within the system 10 is to pass component requests, component quotes, component quote confirmations 'and component promises to / from the ATP server 14', and monitor orders in an appropriate format. Fulfill the status of each point in time. The ATP server 14 provides services to the fulfillment server 16 through a special application integration layer (not shown). The special application integration layer may include an API 'ORB or other services on the ATP server 14, the fulfillment server 16, or both. Appropriate software interface for operation. Network 20 couples fulfillment server 16 to ATP server 14 and may be a global network such as LAN, MAN «Pk, WAN, or the Internet, or any other integrated / separated from network 18 Appropriate network or network aggregation. In one embodiment, each of the LFMs 22 provides the same interface and function to the fulfillment server 16, but may work with different ATP servers 18. Many ATP servers 14 may be outdated ATP systems, fulfillment systems, or ERP systems that can be used to calculate component quotes, but are not designed to work with fulfillment servers 16 in a more complete decentralized network environment such as system 10 . Other ATP servers 14 may not be able to make ATP quotes; in contrast, they are only used to store the information needed to calculate ATP quotes. In other cases, the ATP server 14 may work with the fulfillment server 16 and may have an integrated LFM 22 to directly support the LFM interface of the fulfillment server 16. In each case, LFM22 is responsible for calculating properly generated component quotations or component promises, processing subsequent orders ’, and ensuring that the relevant raw materials or production capacity are actually retained. The LFM 22 may simply interpret the information transmitted between the LFM interface of the fulfillment server 16 and the associated ATP server 14.

If LFM22 interacts with a system not specifically designed for ATP or with a slower organization (system activity must therefore be bypassed as much as possible), then LFM22 may have to perform a part of the ATP function. The present invention 22 provides a variety of subjects and is not limited to more easily deployable LFMs (maintaining the separation of Δτρ ship changes and performing magic calculations and more complex performance server 16 separation). Generally, the client terminal 12 makes an ATp request to the fulfillment feeder 16, each request including one or more line items related to a specific product, and each product may be an acceptable item of one or more ATP servers 14. The fulfillment server 16 uses the LFM interface and the network 20 to make an ATP request for the appropriate LFM 22, corresponding to these line items. Each LFM 22 receiving the ATP request from the element then performs the necessary calculations using the associated ATP server 14 and records the required stock or changes. The LFM22 sends the component price to the fulfillment server 16 * The server processes these component quotations and provides a unified overall quotation for the original related ATP request to the client 12 that sent the request. The client 12 can generate a quotation confirmation, accept the quotation in whole or in part, and send it to the LFM 22 as a component quotation confirmation after processing by the fulfillment server 16. Each quotation confirmation corresponds to a specific component ATP request. The LFM 22 cooperates with the associated ATP server 14 to generate a consumer component promise and form a binding commitment between the customer and the supplier. The fulfillment server 16 provides a unified promise to the client 12 for the relevant ATP request according to the component promises from the LFM 22 and the ATP server 14.

Description of Invention (22) If the item is delivered for multiple times, the user can cancel it selectively. Processing ATP Request (Fulfillment Server) Each line item of ATP Request 30 can be satisfied by ATP feeders 14 which are logically or regionally separated from each other. In this work flow, the main function of performing the feeder 16 is to decompose the ATP request 30 into individual request line items' using the network 20 and LFM 22 to intermediate the generated component ατρ request 32-to the ATP server 14 Decentralized network, evaluate the component quotation 34 from LFM22, and use the network 38 to send a unified quotation 36 to the client 12. If a particular line-item needs to be delivered in batches, the fulfillment server 16 generates an individual component ATP request 32 for each shipment. Some or all of the ATP requests 32 may be assigned to specific LFMs 22 based on customer business restrictions, user preferences, or supplier source preference rules. In this example, the source preference may not be specified, making multiple LFM22s available for quotation. In one embodiment, the fulfillment server 16 decomposes and combines the customer and other appropriate business restrictions into the component ATP request 32 before sending the information to the LFM 22. Suppliers may specify maximum and minimum order quantities for each product. In one embodiment, if these condition parameters have been specified, the fulfillment server 16 will initially evaluate whether each requested line item meets these conditions. If any request item does not meet the specified conditions, an invalid response will be sent to the requesting client 12 via the network 18. Here, the fulfillment server 16 updates the status of the ATP request 30 and may update the status of the invalid component ATP request 32 to an invalid request. The fulfillment server 16 may try to determine the source of each line item based on the supplier or geographical location. &Quot; The fulfillment server 16 may request the component A and the request 32 to indicate ------------- I- ---- Order ------ ---- (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 297 mm) 25 464015 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (23 is set to a specific LFM22. As the user can exclude the preset limitation of the aggregation, the performance feeder 16 first evaluates the requested line item and the requested line item shipping details, and then checks the attributes of the alternative supplier and location source to Decide whether alternative suppliers can be accepted by ATP Request 30. If the alternative source is not allowed, the main relationship specified in Ατρ request 30 will be executed. If the alternative source is allowed, then the user, customer, or other alternative The preference of the source will be considered first. If the preference of the source is not specified, the fulfillment server 16 will check whether there is a supplier preset preference. If the supplier preset preference does not exist, the component ATp request 32 will not be assigned to a specific LJFM22. In this way, count Each LFM 22 can provide services and respond to the component ATP request 32. The fulfillment server 16 may determine a substitute or substitute preference for the ATP request 30. The fulfillment server 16 may add the replacement product information to the component Ατρ request 32. Since the user Optionally, the preset restriction can be removed. The fulfillment server 16 first evaluates the requested line item and the requested line item shipping details, and then checks whether the substitute or substitute is allowed. If the substitute or substitute is allowed, then the user, The preferences of customers, or other alternative sources will be given priority consideration. If these preferences are not specified, the fulfillment server 16 will check whether there are supplier default preferences. If the supplier default preferences do not exist, the component ATP request 32 does not Will be assigned to a specific LFM 22. In this way, several LFMs 22 may provide services and responses to the component ATP request 32. The fulfillment server 16 may try to define alternative or substitute preferences in the ATP request 30. The fulfillment server 16 may Add substitute information β to component ATP request 32. As the user can optionally cancel the aggregate preset limit, the fulfillment server 16 first evaluates Line item request and the request line item shipping details, the paper scale applicable Chinese national standard ( <?

Description of Invention (24) Check again whether ATP request 30 allows substitutes or substitutes. If it is not allowed, the shirt association relationship will be executed at 3 ATP request. Where alternatives or substitutes are tolerated, preferences by users, customers, or other alternatives or substitutes will be prioritized. If other preferences do not exist, the fulfillment server 16 will check the supplier's preset preferences. "If the supplier's preset preferences do not exist, the component ATP request 32 will be marked as not having a special or substitute special mark. In this way, -LF.M22 can provide multiple product selections for the component ATP request 32-fulfill the feeder 16 to generate the component ATp request 32 according to the built-in enterprise restrictions. Since the user can interactively cancel the aggregate preset restriction, the fulfillment server 16 uses the request item and request line item shipping details to define the attributes of the component Ατρ request 32. In one embodiment, the following attributes may be defined using a combination of various other methods or forms: requested quantity, bulk delivery, partial delivery / cancellation, on-time delivery, allowable alternatives / substitutes, preferred alternatives / substitutes Supplies, batches / multiples, and consumption front or back borders. The execution server 16 may further mark the component ATP request 32 as subject to other restrictions based on the aggregated enterprise restrictions. Once the component ATP request 32 is generated, the execution server 16 uses the network 20 to send the component ATP request 32 to one or more LFMs 22 for service. The fulfillment server 16 may also send the ATP request 30 and the component ATP request 32. The status is updated to "waiting for quotation" a. In one embodiment, the "fulfillment server 16 calculates or uses other methods to generate a sequence of element ATP request sequence 32, which is sequentially sent to the specific _ element ATP request 32 related LFM22_.

Description of the invention (27) Processing element ATP request (LFM, each appropriate LFM22 will receive the component ATP request 32 from the fulfillment server 丨 6. As mentioned above, LFM22 It is generally responsible for managing the element ATp request 32 and is responsible for fulfilling the connection between the server 16 and its ATP server 14 during the existence of the ATP request 30. In one embodiment, lfm22 involves quoting, promising, accepting, Delivery and related ATP server 14. The operation is a ... operation. If there is a specific source preference, the component ATp request 32 will contain this information 'allows LFM32 to identify and process the component ATp request 32. ^ If the specific source preference does not exist, LFM22 The relevant component ATP request 32 can be identified based on the user, customer, or product. In a specific ATP server, the LFM22 receives the component ATP request 32 and generates an inquiry for the ATP server 14 in a syntax suitable for the relevant planning engine. Request. In this process, LFM22 Evaluate and implement the enterprise limits in element ATP request 32 and execute accordingly. The planning engine can vary from interface to interface. For example, the FP engine usually does not maintain ATP 'and requests to trade products that are configured for consumption. The component request is planned for the finished product, raw materials, capacity, or other appropriate factors to determine the product inventory. From the perspective of delivery time and volume, controlling the output structure of the quotation response may not be very meaningful. "Therefore, LFM22 will send an inquiry Request as a planned transaction and evaluate the quote response based on the enterprise restrictions in the component ATP request 32. If the response from the ATP server 14 does not meet these conditions, the LFM 22 will send an invalidation notification to the fulfillment server 16. For example, if the component ATP request The entire batch of delivery attributes in 32 requires that the request must be satisfied at one time, and the number of compensation responses from the ATP server 14 is less than the number of requested quantity attributes, then LFM22 will quote the component X 297 public love) .30-(please first Read the notes on the back and fill out this page)-Second order ------------ line!

Invention Descriptions (28 34 are marked as invalid and provide appropriate instructions. These first-line assessments are for different planning engines This may be important because the ATp server response may be multi-dimensional (providing multiple options to evaluate the response at the LFM rather than by the fulfillment server so that invalid conditions can be made before the component quote 34 is returned to the fulfillment server 16 It is identified and marked 'to reduce the overall network load. The following provides an example of a multi-directional ATP server response: Assume that the response for a specific line item (such as May 8th, 100 wheels) is May 8th Delivery of 60 units at a unit price of 22 yuan; and / or delivery of 30 units at a unit price of 16 yuan on May 10; and / or delivery of 100 units at a unit price of 16 yuan on May 12th. These are more Option. System 10 allows a combination of principles and scope. For example, the choice of getting 30 wheels on May 10 and 70 wheels on May 12 may not be enforceable if May 12 The condition that the unit price for delivery is 16 yuan has other quantity restrictions. To take another example, suppose there is a line item with three lines (100 wheels, 25 simple shafts and 25 complex shafts, etc. on May 8th, etc. Proportional delivery). Individual line items can be calculated through the foregoing methods to generate multiple options, and then combined. For example, the simple axis can be delivered on IS units on May 9th, and on May 5th, it will be shipped on May 25th. Units are priced at 10 yuan each. Remakes can be delivered 10 units on May 8th and 25 units on May 10th at a unit price of 25 yuan. If the proportional limit in the request is ignored, the product may take several days The delivery time will be fully completed, that is, May 8 to May 12. However, an equal proportion of enterprise restrictions will make the line item delivery volume equal to the proportion requested, because without tires, it will not be useful to obtain axles.

To regulate these conditions, the enterprise restriction field can be an extended option, such as a US patent As shown in cases 5,764,543 and 5,930,156. When the corresponding extension value is inserted into the extension selector, an 'extra extension stop will take effect. For example, the ATP request 3 may include a maximum difference limit.' The niche is added to a request model called max_vairance-percentage, which is used by the client 12 or related users to specify the allowable difference.

Therefore, the LFM 22 can provide the constraints of the element ATP request 32 to the ATP server 14. Especially in the SCP engine, the LFM 22 must distinguish the quotation or promise process, because the initial quotation request for the ATP server 14 may be just a consultation, which does not involve any configured product or raw material inventory or capacity. The generated report is sent back to LFM 22 by ATP server 14. However, in an EDI exchange, a request for a quote to the ATP server 14 may lead to an actual ATP consumption promise. The LFM 22 responds to the quotation from the ATP server 14 based on the enterprise limit assessment in the original element ATP request 32. Likewise, the processing status of this assessment depends on the complexity of the planning engine associated with the ATP server 14. In the SCP engine, quote responses may include corporate restrictions, thus limiting LFM liability. However, in the FP engine, the LFM22 may need to apply the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) in the paper size of the components. 33-丨 丨 丨 ----丨 丨.

Description of the invention (Evaluate the quotation response before quoting 34. < Please read the notes on the back page before (Fill in this page) The ATP server 14 may send back one or more quote responses, each of which must be evaluated against the relevant corporate restrictions. After evaluating the quotation response from the ATP server 14, the LFM 22 calculates the component quotation 34 'which contains product inventory information and decides how to fulfill the server and how the component quotation 34 can be modified. The LFM 22 sends the component quote 34 back to the fulfillment feeder 16. If there are multiple quotation responses that meet corporate restrictions, LFM22 will send multiple component quotations back to fulfillment server 16. If a valid component quote 34 is not available for the component ATP request 34, the LFM 22 will send an invalidation notification to the fulfillment server 16. For example, the invalid notice may include "insufficient stock" or, unable to meet the delivery conditions or batch requirements "^ As described below, the performance server 16 amends the component quote 34 according to the information and rules provided, so that the overall component quote 34 can meet the enterprise limit of fulfilling server 16 or ATP request 30.

In one embodiment Medium 'when each component ATP request 32 received at least one component quote 3 4 or an invalid notice 'quotation 36 may be considered complete. The supplier may propose several acceptable ATp options for the component ATP request 32. The fulfillment server 16 uses these component quotes 34 to generate multi-dimensionality (eg, product options, Time and price) quotation 36. When all component quotations 34 have been received and quotation 36 has been completed, the fulfillment server 丨 6 will evaluate the entire quotation 36 based on the original ATP request 30-therefore, the fulfillment server 16 decides Whether the condition of the ATP request 30 is satisfied, and the unqualified supplier response is deleted from the unified quote 36t to be sent to the client 12. In one embodiment, the fulfillment feeder 16 modifies the component quotation 34 according to the information and rules provided, so that the entire component quotation 34 meets the corporate restrictions imposed on the fulfillment server 16 and the ATP request 30. Since some client terminals 12 cannot handle multi-directional quotations 36, the user interface of the feeder 16 can also provide relatively limited quotation information according to actual needs. 35 (Please read the notes on the reverse side before filling out this page) The paper size is applicable to the national standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 x 297 mm > 4648 1 A7 B7) V. Description of the invention (33 Intellectual property of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Bureau employees and cooperatives usually print on the fulfillment server and try to provide the best response to the client based on the evaluation of the customer and supplier restrictions based on the quote 36. For example, if ατρ requests a 30% on-time delivery mm must be on time , And one or more component quotations 34 cannot meet this condition, the fulfillment server 16 will assign an invalid state to the ATP request 30. The fulfillment server 16 may only send an invalid notice from the LFM 22 to the client 12. Or, the fulfillment The server-.16 can determine the invalid evaluation notice by itself. For example, although lfm22 has generated a valid 7L quote, the fulfillment server 16 may declare the overall quote 36 as invalid because the quoted price does not meet the enterprise limit set by the customer. If a specific request Line items correspond to multiple component quotes 34, each component quote must be evaluated against a specified limit. All valid components of the line item are requested The price will be sent to the client 12 via the network 18 in the form of a quote 36. β If the ATP server response meets certain conditions (individually or in total, the product, lead time, grid and other conditions are met), the servo will be executed. The server 6 will perform certain functions before generating the quote 36. For example, the client 12 may require the calculation of a price 'tax, shipping or delivery schedule ^ Depending on the actual content, this may use special routes or involve one or more A combination of background planning procedures related to transportation and logistics planning suite.

Depending on the capacity of the ATP server 14 and corporate restrictions on the ATP request 30 'specific request line items may There are one or more valid options. The client 12 or related users can choose among multiple ... options before accepting the quote 36 in whole or in part. Once this process is complete, the client 12 sends a quote confirmation 40 to the fulfillment server 16 'Includes all acceptances and rejections β. Since the quote confirmation 40 may only accept part of the quote 36, only the quote confirmation 40 forms the basis of the promise' instead of the quote 36. If the client 12 feels that it cannot accept the quote 36 'user 12 ATP request 30 can be updated to Resubmit later. The preset limit specifies the period and frequency of resubmission (requote) according to specific needs.

In one embodiment, the fulfillment server 16 may process various responses from the client 12 and related users, including all or part of acceptance, rejection, requote, change, cancellation, inquiry, and other Appropriate user response. If the price line item is accepted, then it must be confirmed in LFM22, because LFM22-usually has not yet kept inventory according to the corresponding component quotation 34. However, if the stock_not reserved 'the line item may be invalid, The fulfillment server 16 must therefore inform the LFM 22 to take appropriate action. In one embodiment, the fulfillment server 16 may request the LFM 22 to provide a component promise 44 and a component quote 34, but with a relatively short acceptance period. The fulfillment server 16 receives a quotation confirmation from the client 12 40

Instantly accept component promise 44. The fulfillment server 16 may appropriately combine the acceptance periods of the LFM 22 with respect to the specific ATP request 30. The resulting acceptance period usually allows the fulfillment server to calculate the quotation 36 (or promise 46), and it is best to include some gaps "because most of the LFM22 responses do not reflect the delivery date of the goods, but rather reflect the supplier's delivery schedule Stated that the fulfillment server 16 can calculate customer delivery dates for multiple orders, which may become an optional follow-up process for promised action.

Description of invention (42) Provide note information before client 12. The fulfillment server 16 can simply provide the invalid state notes from LFM22. Alternatively, the fulfillment server 16 may specify the annotations by itself. For example, 'Although the LFM 22 has generated an acceptable component promise 44', the fulfillment server 6 may determine that the promise 46 is invalid based on the promised price not meeting the customer's business restrictions. The fulfillment feeder 16 may be provided with a delivery coordination engine-element according to the needs of the customer. Without this capability, the server 16 must return the optimal delivery date rather than the delivery date to the customer based on the manufacturing and distribution location. There is a fairly simple metering technology that can be used to coordinate shipments. This technology connects products, locations, and standard frontends. More complex applications may involve advanced shipping and logistics optimization planning engines. In this case, transport coordination can take place in several stages. For example, a chart-like standard lead time can be used in the initial promise generation phase 'to initially estimate the delivery date. Because transportation planning optimization is usually the most efficient in the case of multiple deliveries, it may be processed in batches in the second stage to evaluate the entire backlog status of the request. Based on this two-stage processing, individual ATP requests correspond to 30 Delivery dates may be adjusted to reflect the optimized overall delivery plan. After the fulfillment server 16 completes the evaluation, pricing, and arrangement of the promise 46-delivery time, and the overall response is still valid. The fulfillment server 16 sends a promise 46 (including all valid component promises 44) to the client 12 For confirmation. The structure of the promise 46 shapes the structure of the original quote 36, but is simpler than its corresponding quote structure 'because the quote 36 may be multi-dimensional, and the promise 46 is single.

The request queue parameter specifies the conditions under which the queue will occur, during the queue, and how often the request is resubmitted. Since any changes in the decentralized LFM 22 and the ATP server 14-· _ may make the queue request a satisfactory promise, these changes must be sent to one or more fulfillment servers 16. Each fulfillment server 16 may reconsider its queue request based on these changes to initiate an appropriate quote or promise workflow. The list of ATP Request 30 is detailed in U.S. Patent Applications 08 / 491,167 and 08 / 802,434. Initiating an ATP queue (using Lu) In one embodiment, the client 12 or a related user may bring an existing ATP request 30 into the queue before the order is completely or partially cancelled or fulfilled. The listed ATP requests 30 are sent out periodically for re-inquiry to get better bid results. Similar to the aforementioned re-quote transaction, the queue process does not affect any existing promises46, but only generates new quotes36. The client U or a related user may start the queue process by performing a queue function after the initial ATP request 30 fails to obtain satisfactory results or after querying an existing ATP request 30. Queue behavior may be limited by the retry interval, the maximum number of retries, or related specific parameters. Processing of ATP queues (line servers) The fulfillment server 16 treats the received request queue instructions as all requested line items. Enter the queue for confirmation.

Description of Invention (52) The status of the requested line item is updated to I, listed ". Further processing of the ATp request 30 is suspended until the queue parameters are satisfied. According to a specific retry interval or other conditions, the fulfillment server 16 periodically resubmits the queued components ATP request 32 to LFM22 for quotation. This process is the same as the aforementioned process of re-quoting. Component Promise Modification Flow. Figure 5 shows the component promise modification flow of the present invention. This process or similar-similar processes can be used to modify existing quantities, acceptances, promises, quotes, requests or supplies. It is a common situation that backlogged components ATLP request 32 changes due to supply side issues. Some modifications are rare, but other common modifications must be dealt with efficiently. For example, planned supply often changes regularly, often weekly or daily, and sometimes even more frequently. In addition, as shown in U.S. Patent Application Nos. 087 / 491,167 and 08 / 802,434, the speed of change in the supply configuration of various products or suppliers is generally no less favourable. In both cases * units affected in the decentralized system 10 must be notified, and any pending quotations 36 or promises 46 must be adjusted or marked as overdue. The impact of changes on production planning and scheduling is usually transmitted from top to bottom in the AFM request 32 of the LFM22, rendering one or more of the existing promises invalid. The end result may be that the time schedule of one or more component ATP requests 32 is delayed or shortened. In one embodiment, the LFM 22 monitors the status of the ATP request 32 ' to discern these events and contact the fulfillment server 16 accordingly. For example, the 'ATP server 14 will notify LFM22 that it will affect the supply of the backlog of component ATP requests 32, and LFM22 will then notify the fulfillment servo that this paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 public love)- ----- 装 — II Order! ---- Line (please read the notes on the back before filling in this page) A7 4 6 4 8 15 ___._ B7_, _ V.

Similarly, 'Changes made in the fulfillment server 16 must be sent to the affected LFM 22 to adjust the reserve accordingly. In addition, the aforementioned processes can support one or more alternative processes' to process the ATP component data of system 10. In the case where the operating ATP data becomes invalid due to these changes β .. · Handling ATP server modification (LFNH — In one embodiment, the 'system 10 provides an interface agreement between the LFM 22 and the ATP server 14 to make the relevant The planning changes of the engine that are sufficient to affect the allowance characteristics of the element ATP request 32 will be identified in the ατρ server 14 and sent to the LFM 22 for evaluation. This evaluation process is the same as the evaluation process for the initial promise response, that is, 'LFM22 Evaluate the modified component promise response based on the limits specified in the original ATP request 30. The updated promise from the ATp server 14 does not necessarily change the promise between the customer and the supplier. As in one embodiment, promise 46 and acceptance 50 is a different object, and the acceptance of the modification of 46 will not affect the acceptance of 50. Usually, a binding business agreement between the customer and the supplier is accepted. Changes can be negotiated and resolved 'so that the original promise is retained. However, a binding agreement guarantees that the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Intellectual Property Bureau ’s consumer and industrial cooperation will remain unchanged until the user terminal 2 or the relevant user Accept the updated promise 62 and a new acceptance 64 is formed. Regardless of whether the planning change affects the validity of the component promise 44 * LFM22 will generate a regulatory change notification 60 for the change and mark the existing invalid conditions. The planning change notification 60 will Generated in an appropriate form and sent to the fulfillment feeder 16 via the network 20.

User needs to respond to planning change notification 60. Appropriate response. Handle LFM modification (belonging to the server)-• The fulfillment server 16 monitors and responds to events such as the LFM-sponsored component change. And the ATP server 14 The change in the element promise in the related planning engine may severely impact the integrity of the original promise 46. Therefore, in one embodiment, the fulfillment server 16 re-evaluates the promise 46 according to the restrictions in the original ATP request 30 «For example, according to The ATP request 30 sets the value of the material shortage equal proportion attribute, and the fulfillment server 16 will adjust the promise of all requested line items in proportion, and cancel the shortage supply of other line items. If this is not done, the product may be locked by the customer, even if the customer does not accept the product in the end. The fulfillment server 16 will query one or more alternative suppliers before adjusting the ATP request 30 or declaring the ATP > request 30 to be invalid, or send an appropriate problem notification to the client or related user for resolution = > • The fulfillment server [6] has the ability to selectively re-valuate the promise 46 when the LFM initiates a change to determine whether it is necessary to re-price the change. For example, a change in the delivery date of ATP Request 30 may not require revaluation, but a change in quantity may invalidate the original promised price. In addition, the fulfillment server 16 is provided with the ability to recalculate the delivery when the change is initiated by the LFM 'to determine whether it is necessary to recalculate the delivery date for the change.

After the fulfillment server 16 evaluates the modified component promise 44 according to the restrictions in the ATP request 30, the fulfillment server 16 generates an update promise 62 and sends it to the client 12 »This process is the same as the acceptance ballot process, It's just that the original promise 46 already exists', and when the lending server generates an updated promise 62-only the part of the promise 46 related to the ATP request is updated. Invalid notices will be generated in due course. At this stage, the client 12 or related users may wish to retain this change, generate an acceptance 64 and send it to the fulfillment server 16, or perform a re-inquiry, modification or cancellation process. The ATP request cancellation process initiates the ATP request fetch (user side). In the embodiment, the client side 12 or the relevant user can cancel the ATP request at any time 30 'unless the supplier's company restrictions clearly indicate that it cannot be cancelled, for example, cancel The deadline has passed ". Therefore, the ATP request 30 can be cancelled during the generation phase, the quotation processing phase, after acceptance, and even after partial fulfillment. The purpose of cancellation is to permanently invalidate ATP Request 30. The client 12 or a related user may query the ATP request 30 to launch this procedure. After querying the ATP request 30 on the client and displaying it, the user can select the cancel function to cause the client 12 to execute the cancellation instruction β.
