US Classification:

705 19

Abstract:

A computer-enabled method for dynamic, automated application of taxes to veterinary pharmaceutical and other animal-related product items for sale by a central product provider and subsequent recovery of historically accurate taxes as applied by the central product provider for automated tax crediting and distribution to veterinary hospitals for later remittance to taxing authorities. Member account details, per-item and per-invoice tax records are accessed, created and stored in computer memory, and during purchase an invoice record is created with a snapshot of an invoice ID, per-item base prices, per-item taxes and per-invoice taxes. After a sale is completed, including payment of the invoice with a customer's credit card wallet information, the invoice is retrieved and taxes on the invoice are automatically credited and distributed to various veterinary hospitals.

US Classification:

705 34

Abstract:

A computer-enabled method and system for dynamic, automated pricing of veterinary pharmaceutical and other animal-related product items by a central product provider, wherein the method allows subsequent recovery of historical pricing information by the central product provider computer for subsequent sale proceeds sharing with a veterinary hospital, comprising the steps of: asynchronously creating and storing member account details, asynchronously retrieving from vendors and storing pricing and other information for a plurality of product item records, asynchronously maintaining and storing a plurality of per-product-item fee records and proceed split percentage information, providing to veterinary hospitals responsive item product information for one or more items selected and creating and temporarily storing a snapshot for subsequent optional recall of product item record pricing, per-item and per-invoice fee information, and making selected item product information available for display. Upon selection of a product item for purchase by a veterinary hospital or customer, a unique invoice record is created which comprises the temporarily stored per-item and per-invoice fee information corresponding to the product item, hospital and/or customer making the selection. Finally, the hospital and/or customer related per-item and per-invoice fee and price information is used, together with hospital and central product provider percentage split information, for automated determination, allocation, crediting and distribution of proceeds to the veterinary hospital based upon saved historic, granular pricing and fee data.
