    Abstract: In an embodiment, a method for dynamically generating and using peer groups in an e-procurement system includes creating an entity database with a plurality of attributes associated with entities and an ordered table of matching rules. Each matching rule having a priority value and two or more matching attributes. The method includes receiving a user input specifying a particular entity for generating a current peer group of other entities. The method includes accessing the entity database to retrieve particular attributes of the particular entity and querying the entity database to receive a result set of matching entities as the current peer group of other entities for the particular entity based on the particular attributes of the particular entity and the matching rules. The method further includes appending data for the matching entities in the result set to a peer group data structure associated with the particular entity.

    Abstract: Input data comprises an order to provide a quantity of one or more finished goods to a site. Software is programmed for: accessing information that defines an architecture of a supply chain network comprising a plurality of sites connected by a plurality of path fragments; generating one or more path solutions to fulfill the order; removing one or more loops from the one or more path solutions; generating based on the one or more path solutions and the one or more removed loops, one or more revised path solutions; outputting the one or more revised path solutions for display on a client device; and transmitting, only to computers of the sites of a revised subset of a plurality of path fragments, a plurality of signals to initiate movement of one or more of raw materials or finished goods.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method comprises, using an e-procurement platform instance that is programmed to host thousands of user accounts that are associated with a plurality of different entities, receiving, from a buyer computer, supplier payment account data for a dataset representing a payment to a supplier; creating a cryptographically secure fingerprint based on the supplier payment account data; using the fingerprint and at least a portion of the supplier payment account data, programmatically transmitting a structured database query to a digital data repository, the digital data repository comprising at least hundreds of thousands of records of transactions that included other datasets representing other payments; in response to the querying, receiving a result set of a plurality of supplier payment datasets, based on the records of transactions, the supplier payment datasets representing past submissions of payments to the same supplier payment account that the fingerprint represents; based on the result set and a plurality of programmatic rules, calculating one or more notification metrics and selecting a notification from among a plurality of programmed notifications and transmitting, to the buyer computer, presentation instructions which when rendered using the buyer computer cause displaying the one or more notification metrics and a notification text.

    Abstract: Touchless supplier information management. A computer-implemented method comprises, before a delayed processing timing has been met, obtaining supplier record data for supplier records created for a particular supplier as a first set of supplier record field values. The supplier records were created based on a previous version of a master supplier record for the particular supplier. The previous version of the supplier record was determined based on a previous set of supplier record data for a previous set of supplier records created for the particular supplier. When the delayed processing timing has been met, a new master supplier record of the particular supplier based on the first set of supplier record field values. A request to create a new supplier record for the particular supplier is received, particular supplier record data is determined based on the new master supplier record for the particular supplier, and the data is provided in response to the request.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for detecting and managing duplicate invoices is provided. In one embodiment, the method includes accessing, in a digital storage device, invoices associated with a buyer computer. Candidate invoices having similar attributes are identified from the invoices and nodes representing the candidate invoices are created and stored in computer memory. At least two of the candidate invoices are determined likely to be duplicate invoices and an edge is generated between nodes representing the at least two candidate invoices, indicating that the at least two candidate invoices are likely to be duplicate invoices. A set of filters is programmatically applied using the at least two candidate invoices as inputs. The at least two candidate invoices are determined to be duplicate invoices based on an output of the set of filters and a notification is sent to the buyer computer indicating that the at least two candidate invoices are duplicate invoices.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for automatic template selection for extracting data from an input electronic document is provided. The method includes receiving a first set of candidate templates and an input electronic document. For each candidate template, a template similarity ratio value is calculated that represents a similarity of the candidate template to the input electronic document. The first set of candidate templates are ranked according to the template similarity ratios and then matched to the input electronic document resulting in generating a normalized similarity score for each particular candidate from among the candidate templates. Differences in normalized similarity scores of successive pairs of the candidate templates is determined and a breaking point is established. A second set of candidate templates is formed by selecting candidate templates that are ranked above the breaking point. Data from the input electronic document is extracted using the second set of candidate templates.
