    Abstract: Techniques are provided for automated information retrieval based on supplier risk. In an embodiment, a selection of a supplier identifier value that identifies a supplier during a supplier onboarding process in an e-procurement system is received. A digital data repository of the e-procurement system is queried to seek a data record matching the selected supplier identifier value. In response to determining that the data repository has a record matching the selected supplier identifier value, a risk score value associated with the selected supplier identifier value is identified from a dataset of risk score values that is stored in the data repository. A unique mapping table is generated that maps each supplier risk score value of one or more supplier risk score values to one or more information request identifiers, the one or more supplier risk score values including the risk score value associated with the selected supplier identifier value. A custom digital data entry form is generated that comprises one or more information request fields that are mapped to the risk score value associated with the selected supplier identifier value. The custom data entry form is transmitted to a computer associated with the supplier corresponding to the selected supplier identifier value, the custom data form prompting the supplier to take action, respond, or contribute information back to the server computer.

    Abstract: Techniques for community-based spend analysis in a software as a service computing environment are disclosed. The techniques leverage information available about community spend to provide new insights into a particular customer's spend. The new insights result from using a trained deep learning classifier to classify spend data lines from both the community of customers and the particular customer in standard spend categories. The spend data lines may be from invoices, requisitions and purchase orders, for example. According to some of the techniques, after classifying the spend data lines in standard spend categories, a highly accurate community-based comparison between spend of the community versus spend of the particular customer in one or more particular standard spend categories is provided in a graphical user interface.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating event templates for requested event types are described herein. In an embodiment, a server computer receives transactional data describing transactions between a plurality of computing devices. The server computer uses the transactional data to identify a plurality of instances of a particular event type by determining, for each instance, that a plurality of transactions associated with a particular computing device relate to an event of the particular event type. The server computer uses the transactional data related to the plurality of instances of the particular event type to determine a plurality of items for the particular event type. When the server computer receives a request from a client computing device to generate an event, the server computer generates and displays an event template which identifies the plurality of items.

    Abstract: A data processing method comprises storing, in one or more data repositories, information on a plurality of supplier entities according to a supplier ontology including for each particular supplier entity at least three different supplier attributes comprising a supplier detail, a timestamp specifying at least one of when the supplier detail expires or when the supplier detail was last updated, and an electronic identifier usable to contact the particular supplier entity; using supplier trigger monitoring instructions of a procurement system executed on a server computer that is coupled to the one or more data repositories, storing a plurality of opportunity triggers each comprising a trigger type and a numeric value; monitoring, without receiving an explicit request from a computing device, and based at least in part on information from the one or more data repositories, whether one or more of the plurality of opportunity triggers is satisfied, in response to determining, for a particular opportunity trigger and a particular supplier entity, that a timestamp associated with a particular supplier detail that is identified in the opportunity trigger exceeds a time that is determined at least in part by the numeric value associated with that particular opportunity trigger; creating, based on the monitoring, a first set of triggered opportunity triggers comprising at least one satisfied opportunity trigger; causing displaying, on a computing device, a graphical interface that depicts the first set of triggered opportunity triggers, including a first triggered opportunity trigger indicating that a first supplier entity has satisfied an opportunity trigger, and a supplier name for the first supplier entity, and a control that is associated with an executable component of the procurement system that can be initiated to remedy the first triggered opportunity trigger based on a first trigger type of the first triggered opportunity trigger; receiving a selection of the control and automatically initiating execution of the executable component of the procurement system; under control of the executable component, transmitting a first electronic message to resolve the first triggered opportunity trigger.

    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: In an embodiment, a computer-implemented method comprises receiving supplier invoice data comprising one or more supplier payment objects corresponding to a supplier to a customer of a supplier-customer transaction. A match determination is made between the supplier payment object and a verified payment object. In response to a no-match determination, a customer transaction system is queried to validate the supplier, and in response to the supplier validation, a validation payment object is created, validating the supplier. A match determination is made between the supplier payment object and the verified payment object, and the supplier invoice is automatically generated. In response to receiving subsequent supplier invoice data corresponding to the supplier of subsequent supplier-client transactions, for each subsequent supplier-client transaction, the subsequent supplier invoice is automatically generated with the verified payment object.

    Abstract: Techniques for implementing conditional approval chains through a spend management system are described herein. In an embodiment, a spend management system stores data defining a plurality of conditional approval chains. The system receives a request to perform a particular transaction between a first account and a second account. The system identifies a particular conditional approval chain, of the plurality of conditional approval chains, for the transaction, the particular conditional approval chain comprising a particular condition based on a particular rating value for a particular account and a consequent comprising a requirement for approval from a third account. Using the particular rating value for the second account, the system computes a result of the particular conditional approval chain. Based on the computed result of the particular conditional approval chain, the system determines that the transaction requires approval from the third account and, in response, the system sends a request for approval of the transaction to a client computing device associated with the third account.
