Managing consistent interfaces for export declaration and export declaration request business objects across heterogeneous systems
First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer readable medium including program code for providing a message-based interface for exchanging information regarding a declaration to a customs authority for exporting goods according to legal requirements, the medium comprising:
- program code for receiving via a message-based interface derived from a common business object model, where the common business object model includes business objects having relationships that enable derivation of message-based interfaces and message packages, the message-based interface exposing at least one service as defined in a service registry and from a heterogeneous application executing in an environment of computer systems providing message-based services, a first message for a request for processing an export declaration that includes a first message package derived from the common business object model and hierarchically organized in memory as;
an export declaration processing request message entity; and
an export declaration package, where the export declaration package includes an export declaration entity, a custom authorization package, and a customs office package, where the export declaration entity includes an export message subtype code, an export message identification (ID), a customs authority country code, and a major version customs authority ID, where the custom authorization package includes at least one customs authorization entity, each customs authorization entity including a customer authorization type code and a customs authorization ID, and where the customs office package includes at least one customs office entity;
program code for processing the first message according to the hierarchical organization of the first message package, where processing the first message includes unpacking the first message package based on the common business object model; and
program code for sending a second message to the heterogeneous application responsive to the first message, where the second message includes a second message package derived from the common business object model to provide consistent semantics with the first message package.

Abstract
A business object model, which reflects data that is used during a given business transaction, is utilized to generate interfaces. This business object model facilitates commercial transactions by providing consistent interfaces that are suitable for use across industries, across businesses, and across different departments within a business during a business transaction. In some operations, software creates, updates, or otherwise processes information related to an export declaration and/or an export declaration request business object.

4. A distributed system operating in a plurality of computer systems providing message-based services defined in a service registry, the system comprising:
-
at least one processor operable to execute computer readable instructions embodied on non-transitory media; a graphical user interface executable by the at least one processor and comprising computer readable instructions, embedded on non-transitory media, for a request for processing an export declaration using a request; a first memory storing a user interface controller executable by the at least one processor for processing the request and involving a message including a message package derived from a common business object model, where the common business object model includes business objects having relationships that enable derivation of message-based service interfaces and message packages, the message package hierarchically organized as; an export declaration processing request message header entity; and an export declaration package, where the export declaration package includes an export declaration entity, a custom authorization package, and a customs office package, where the export declaration entity includes an export message subtype code, an export message identification (ID), a customs authority country code, and a major version customs authority ID, where the custom authorization package includes at least one customs authorization entity, each customs authorization entity including a customer authorization type code and a customs authorization ID, and where the customs office package includes at least one customs office entity; and a second memory, remote from the graphical user interface, storing a plurality of message-based service interfaces executable by the at least one processor and derived from the common business object model to provide consistent semantics with messages derived from the common business object model, where one of the message-based service interfaces processes the message according to the hierarchical organization of the message package, where processing the message includes unpacking the first message package based on the common business object model. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6)

7. A non-transitory computer readable medium including program code for providing a message-based interface for exchanging information for a request to create or update an export declaration using customs-relevant business transactions, the medium comprising:
-
program code for receiving via a message-based interface derived from a common business object model, where the common business object model includes business objects having relationships that enable derivation of message-based interfaces and message packages, the message-based interface exposing at least one service as defined in a service registry and from a heterogeneous application executing in an environment of computer systems providing message-based services, a first message for a request for an export declaration request that includes a first message package derived from the common business object model and hierarchically organized in memory as; an export declaration request request message entity; and an export declaration request package comprising an export declaration request entity, where the export declaration request entity includes a reconciliation period counter value, an item list complete transmission indicator, a base business transaction document type code, an export declaration block indicator, and an export declaration cancel indicator; program code for processing the first message according to the hierarchical organization of the first message package, where processing the first message includes unpacking the first message package based on the common business object model; and program code for sending a second message to the heterogeneous application responsive to the first message, where the second message includes a second message package derived from the common business object model to provide consistent semantics with the first message package. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9)
