Systems and methods for automatically selecting a plurality of specific order items from a plurality of order items
Systems and methods are provided for automatically selecting a plurality of specific order items from a plurality of order items, wherein the plurality of specific order items meet one or more predefined criteria. In one implementation, the system includes an inbound interface for interfacing with a plurality of data storage devices, in at least one of which the plurality of order items are stored as data. The system also includes an execution memory operable to hold a software system and a processor coupled to the inbound interface and the execution memory, the processor being operable to execute the software system such that the software system operates: to generate one or more order due lists having a definition according to the one or more predefined criteria, using the one or more order due lists as an index to select the plurality of specific order items meeting the one or more predefined criteria, to fill the order due lists via the inbound interface with the data corresponding to the plurality of specific order items, and to store the filled order due lists in a database.

an execution memory operable to hold a software system; and
a processor coupled to the inbound interface and the execution memory, the processor being operable to execute the software system such that the software system operates:
to generate one or more order due lists having a definition according to the one or more predefined criteria, using the one or more order due lists as an index to select the plurality of specific order items meeting the one or more predefined criteria,
to fill the order due lists via the inbound interface with the data corresponding to the plurality of specific order items, and
to store the filled order due lists in a database.
2 . A system according to claim 1 , wherein the order due list is a database element.
3 . A system according to claim 1 , wherein the software system further operates to abort the selection when a predefined number of specific order items is reached.
4 . A system according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more order due list functions as an index.
5 . A system according to claim 1 , wherein the software system further operates to save the plurality of specific order items.
6 . A system according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of specific order items are stored in a buffer.
7 . A system according to claim 1 , wherein the software system further operates to build the one or more order due lists in accordance with customizable criteria.
8 . A system according to claim 1 , wherein the definition includes a filter for filtering the plurality of order items.
9 . A system according to claim 8 , wherein the filter includes a filter type to select one or more order items according to predefined criteria.
10 . A system according to claim 1 , wherein the definition includes a sort profile to prioritize the plurality of specific order items.
11 . A system according to claim 8 , wherein the filter includes a filter variant.
12 . A system according to claim 8 , wherein the filter is customizable by at least one of a system and user in accordance with at least one of a system and user preference, respectively.
13 . A computer-implemented method for automatically selecting a plurality of specific order items from a plurality of order items, wherein the plurality of specific order items meet one or more predefined criteria, the method comprising:
interfacing with a plurality of inbound data storage devices, in at least one of which the plurality of order items are stored as data;
generating one or more order due lists having a definition according to the one or more predefined criteria, using the one or more order due lists as an index to select the plurality of specific order items meeting the one or more predefined criteria;
filling the order due lists via the inbound interface with the data corresponding to the plurality of specific order items; and
storing the filled order due lists in a database.
14 . A method according to claim 13 , wherein the order due list is a database element.
15 . A method according to claim 13 , further comprising aborting the selection when a predefined number of specific order items is reached.
16 . A method according to claim 13 , wherein the one or more order due list functions as an index.
17 . A method according to claim 13 , further comprising saving the plurality of specific order items.
18 . A method according to claim 13 , wherein the plurality of specific order items are stored in a buffer.
19 . A method according to claim 13 , further comprising building the one or more order due lists in accordance with customizable criteria.
20 . A method according to claim 13 , wherein the definition includes a filter for filtering the plurality of order items.
21 . A method according to claim 20 , wherein the filter includes a filter type to select one or more order items according to predefined criteria.
22 . A method according to claim 13 , wherein the definition includes a sort profile to prioritize the plurality of specific order items.
