Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for supporting at least one allocation process for an allocation of objects in at least one application using an allocation framework pre-configured for the allocation process with at least one monitoring and control unit and at least one working unit, wherein in the allocation framework the allocation process is pre-configured by presetting process steps and defining their sequence, the method comprising: retrieving a work stock via the allocation framework through the working unit to the allocation process to be supported; managing the work stock, the work stock comprising at least one allocation group, each allocation group comprising a grouping of allocation stipulations, each allocation stipulation comprising at least one allocation instruction for the allocation of an object to a target object, wherein managing the work stock comprises receiving input through a dynamic user interface to enter process-dependent and process status-dependent specific instructions; instantiating, with a processor, the at least one allocation process to be supported which is pre-configured in the allocation framework and starting the at least one allocation process by the working unit of the allocation framework; and processing, with a processor, the associated work stock in order to carry out the allocation process automatically, partly automatically or manually as desired, wherein processing the work stock comprises determining an allocation process status and, based on the determined allocation process status, implementing the at least one allocation instruction to allocate the object to the target object.
