    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: 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: 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.
