Checking substance volume limits
The disclosure provides a method, software, and system for checking substance volume limits. In one embodiment, a method includes identifying a threshold associated with a substance managed by an enterprise. At least one volume of the substance is identified. A violation of the substance threshold is automatically determined based, at least in part, on the at least one volume. An action is automatically executed in response to the violation.
1 . A method, comprising:
identifying a threshold associated with a substance managed by an enterprise;
identifying at least one volume of the substance;
automatically determining a violation of the substance threshold based, at least in part, on the at least one volume; and
automatically executing an action in response to the violation.
2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
identifying a document associated with the substance;
identifying an amount of a material associated with the document, the material including the substance; and
determining the at least one volume of the substance based, at least in part, on the amount of the material.
3 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising:
identifying a specification associated with the material; and
determining the at least one volume of the substance based, at least in part, on the amount of the material.
4 . The method of claim 1 , the threshold identified in response, to at least, an event.
5 . The method of claim 4 , the event comprising at least one of an expiration of a period of time, an update of the at least one substance volume, or a request by a user.
6 . The method of claim 1 , the action comprising at least one of notifying an associated user or locking a business document.
7 . The method of claim 6 , the business document comprising a purchase order.
8 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
identifying a plurality of volumes of the substance, the plurality of volumes including the at least one volume;
aggregating the plurality of volumes; and
determining a violation of the threshold based, at least in part, on the aggregated volumes.
9 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising locking a plurality of documents in response to at least the violation.
10 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising identifying a business process in response to at least the violation.
11 . Software, the software operable to:
identify a threshold associated with a substance managed by an enterprise;
identify at least one volume of the substance;
automatically determine a violation of the substance threshold based, at least in part, on the at least one volume; and
automatically execute an action in response to the violation.
12 . The software of claim 11 , the software further operable to:
identify a document associated with the substance;
identify an amount of a material associated with the document, the material including the substance; and
determine the at least one volume of the substance based, at least in part, on the amount of the material.
13 . The software of claim 12 , the software further operable to:
identify a specification associated with the material; and
determine the at least one volume of the substance based, at least in part, on the amount of the material.
14 . The software of claim 11 , the threshold identified in response, to at least, an event.
15 . The software of claim 14 , the event comprising at least one of an expiration of a period of time, an update of the at least one substance volume, or a request by a user.
16 . The software of claim 11 , the action comprising at least one of notifying an associated user or locking a business document.
17 . The software of claim 16 , the business document comprising a purchase order.
18 . The software of claim 11 , the software further operable to:
identify a plurality of volumes of the substance, the plurality of volumes including the at least one volume;
aggregate the plurality of volumes; and
determine a violation of the threshold based, at least in part, on the aggregated volumes.
19 . The software of claim 18 , the software further operable to lock a plurality of documents in response to at least the violation.
20 . The software of claim 11 , the software further operable to identify a business process in response to at least the violation.
