Abstract

A centralized master data management system (CMDMS) includes a memory having instructions; and processing circuitry coupled to the memory, and being configured to execute the instructions, causing the processing circuitry to cause a graphical user interface (GUI) to be output by a user interface (UI), the GUI includes a first user input field configured to receive a first user input identifying an administrator to log in to the CMDMS; in response to a successful log in to the CMDMS, obtain master data from the memory, the master data being associated with the administrator; update the GUI to include a list of region configuration profiles (RCPs) managed by the administrator; and one or more functional elements, wherein each functional element trigger a respective action in response to being selected by the administrator; and authorize a user, within a predefined region, to be able to create and submit budget applications.

Claims (63)

1. A centralized master data management system (CMDMS), comprising:

a memory having non-transitory instructions stored therein; and

processing circuitry coupled to the memory, and being configured to execute the instructions, thereby causing the processing circuitry to:

cause a graphical user interface (GUI) to be output by a user interface (UI), the GUI comprising:

a first user input field configured to receive a first user input identifying an administrator of an organization to log in to the CMDMS;

in response to a successful log in to the CMDMS, obtain master data from the memory, the master data being associated with the administrator;

update the GUI to be output by the UI, the GUI comprising:

a list of region configuration profiles (RCPs) managed by the administrator, each RCP of the list of RCPs specifying a predefined region of the organization; and

one or more functional elements, wherein each functional element is configured to trigger a respective action in response to being selected by the administrator; and

authorize a user, within a predefined region of the predefined regions of the organization, to be able to create and submit budget applications.

2. The CMDMS system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the processing circuitry to:

select an RCP from the list of RCPs based on a trigger of the one or more functional elements.

3. The CMDMS system of claim 2 , wherein the instructions further cause the processing circuitry to:

edit the RCP presented on the list of RCPs.

4. The CMDMS system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the processing circuitry to:

update the GUI to be output by the UI, the GUI comprising:

a pop-out window that displays a user's request to be associated with a region.

5. The CMDMS system of claim 4 , wherein the instructions further cause the processing circuitry to:

create an RCP based on user parameters selected by the administrator from the user's request.

6. The CMDMS system of claim 5 , wherein the instructions further cause the processing circuitry to:

generate an updated list of RCPs such that the created RCP is included and shown in the updated list of RCPs, in response to the created RCP.

7. The CMDMS system of claim 5 , wherein the creation of the RCP based on the user parameters selected by the administrator from the user's request further includes:

in response to the administrator triggering an associated functional element, receive user information from data storage.

8. The CMDMS system of claim 7 , wherein the instructions further cause the processing circuitry to:

map a user to the region based on the created RCP.

9. The CMDMS system of claim 8 , wherein the instructions further cause the processing circuitry to:

restrict a user's access to master data based on the created RCP.

10. A method executed by a processing circuitry, the method comprising:

causing a graphical user interface (GUI) to be output by a user interface (UI), the GUI comprising:

a first user input field configured to receive a first user input identifying an administrator of an organization to log in to a centralized master data management system (CMDMS);

in response to a successful log in to the CMDMS, obtaining master data from a memory, the master data being associated with the administrator;

updating the GUI to be output by the UI, the GUI comprising:

a list of region configuration profiles (RCPs) managed by the administrator, each RCP of the list of RCPs specifying a predefined region of the organization; and

one or more functional elements, wherein each functional element is configured to trigger a respective action in response to being selected by the administrator; and

authorizing a user, within a predefined region of the predefined regions of the organization, to be able to create and submit budget applications.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

selecting an RCP from the list of RCPs based on a trigger of the one or more functional elements.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

editing the RCP presented on the list of RCPs.

13. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

updating the GUI to be output by the UI, the GUI comprising:

a pop-out window that displays a user's request to be associated with a region.

14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

creating an RCP based on user parameters selected by the administrator from the user's request.

15. The method of claim14 , further comprising:

generating an updated list of RCPs such that the created RCP is included and shown in the updated list of RCPs, in response to the created RCP.

16. A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions executable by a controller of a user equipment to cause the controller to perform operations comprising:

causing a graphical user interface (GUI) to be output by a user interface (UI), the GUI comprising:

a first user input field configured to receive a first user input identifying an administrator of an organization to log in to a centralized master data management system (CMDMS);

in response to a successful log in to the CMDMS, obtaining master data from a memory, the master data being associated with the administrator;

updating the GUI to be output by the UI, the GUI comprising:

a list of region configuration profiles (RCPs) managed by the administrator, each RCP of the list of RCPs specifying a predefined region of the organization; and

one or more functional elements, wherein each functional element is configured to trigger a respective action in response to being selected by the administrator; and

authorizing a user, within a predefined region of the predefined regions of the organization, to be able to create and submit budget applications.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the instructions further cause the controller to perform operations that include:

selecting an RCP from the list of RCPs based on a trigger of the one or more functional elements.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the instructions further cause the controller to perform operations that include:

edit the RCP presented on the list of RCPs.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the instructions further cause the controller to perform operations that include:

updating the GUI to be output by the UI, the GUI comprising:

a pop-out window that displays a user's request to be associated with a region.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 19 , wherein the instructions further cause the controller to perform operations that include:

creating an RCP based on user parameters selected by the administrator from the user's request.
