AUTOMATED DOCUMENT PARSING TO DETERMINE COMMON COMPONENT IDENTIFIERS FOR CONSOLIDATION OF COMPONENT ORDERS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17726828 Titled 'AUTOMATED DOCUMENT PARSING TO DETERMINE COMMON COMPONENT IDENTIFIERS FOR CONSOLIDATION OF COMPONENT ORDERS'
Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes an apparatus that uses an automated document parser to analyze documents related to component orders in a supply chain. The apparatus identifies specific component identifiers used by different organizations and suppliers. It then determines a common component identifier for a given component by mapping the association between the organization-specific identifiers. This allows for the consolidation of component orders from different organizations into a single order that uses the common identifier. The apparatus also processes this aggregated order using suppliers in the supply chain.
Original Abstract Submitted
An apparatus comprises a processing device configured to generate and utilize an automated document parser for parsing documents exchanged as part of fulfillment of historical component orders by a given supplier in a supply chain for first and second organizations to identify first and second organization-specific component identifiers utilized by the first and second organizations and a given supplier-specific component identifier utilized by the given supplier for a given component. The processing device is further configured to determine a common component identifier for the given component based at least in part on mapping an association between the first and second organization-specific component identifiers, to consolidate first and second component orders by the first and second organizations that utilize the first and second organization-specific component identifiers into an aggregated component order that utilizes the common component identifier, and to process the aggregated component order utilizing suppliers in the supply chain.
