Application: Enhanced automated entity close process management (Patent ID: US20240212059A1)

The patent filed by SAP SE describes a computer-implemented method for enhanced entity close modeling. The method involves presenting an entity close scheme with task sequences on a display window, marking a closing target time, highlighting target critical sequences and the longest sequence based on predefined criteria, simulating changes through a user interface, and updating the display accordingly. The system includes memory, processors, and storage media storing instructions for performing these operations.

The method further includes determining sequence start and end times, finding the latest sequence end time for the closing target, comparing sequence end times with the target time for highlighting critical sequences, and calculating total durations to identify the longest sequence. The simulation process allows for changing task object start times, durations, and the closing target time through the user interface. Additionally, the system monitors execution status, detecting changes to task objects and updating the display accordingly. This patent aims to provide a comprehensive tool for modeling entity close processes, optimizing efficiency and decision-making in managing task sequences.
