Electronic Purchased Part Order Data Management System and Method

摘要

The computer-implemented purchased part order data management system employs a database management computer hosting a purchased part order database and an automated data collection and review computer communicating with the database management computer. The data collection and review computer has a purchased part order data (PPOD) repository and a messaging system that includes a message routing data structure. Through an interface, a user interacts with the data collection and review system to add PPOD information, which is then made available to other users for review. The data collection and review computer records the status of the PPOD as it undergoes the review process and mediates which party is next invited to review the PPOD information. Once finally reviewed, the automated data collection and review computer issues a prompt to the database management computer to ingest information based on the PPOD.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented purchased part order data management system, comprising:
a database management computer hosting a purchased part order database; an automated data collection and review computer having a purchased part order data (PPOD) repository and having a computer-implemented messaging system including a message routing data structure; the automated data collection and review system being coupled to said database management computer to support data transfer from the automated data collection and review system to the database management system; the automated data collection and review system having an interface supporting interaction with the data repository and with the messaging system by a PPOD creating user and by a plurality of different PPOD reviewing users; the messaging system having populated in said message routing data structure the identity of different PPOD reviewing users according to a predefined reviewing sequence; the messaging system automatically monitoring interaction by said PPOD creating user and by said PPOD reviewing users and issuing prompts to PPOD reviewing users based on the predefined reviewing sequence; the messaging system issuing a prompt to said database management computer to ingest information based on the PPOD data when, based on the predefined reviewing sequence, all pending reviews have been completed with approval.
