First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- providing information to a user regarding at least one issued sales order quote for an entity;
receiving an input from the user assigning the at least one issued sales order quote with a conversion probability factor indicating a likelihood of the at least one issued sales order quote being converted into a sales order; and
transmitting data identifying the at least one issued sales order quote and the conversion probability factor over a communications network to a remote application in a form that enables the remote application, when initiating one or more machine-executable processes to allocate resources to fulfill the at least one issued sales order quote, to make use of the transmitted data in executing the processes.

Abstract
Information may be provided to user regarding an issued sales order quote for an entity. Thereafter, an input may be received from the user assigning the issued sales order quote with a conversion probability factor indicating a likelihood that the issued sales order quote being converted into a sales order. Data identifying the issued sales order quote and the conversion probability factor may be transmitted over a communications network to a remote application in a form that enables the remote application, when initiating one or more machine-executable processes to allocate resources to fulfill the at least one issued sales order quote, to make use of the transmitted data in executing the processes.

14. An apparatus comprising:
-
a graphical user interface to provide information to a user regarding at least one issued sales order quote and to receive an input from the user assigning the at least one issued sales order quote with a conversion probability factor indicating a likelihood of the at least one issued sales order quote being converted into a sales order; and
a transmitter to transmit data identifying the at least one issued sales order quote and the conversion probability factor over a communications network to a remote application in a form that enables the remote application, when initiating one or more machine-executable processes to allocate resources to fulfill the at least one issued sales order quote, to make use of the transmitted data in executing the processes. - View Dependent Claims (15)
