  • Publication number: 20160117713
    Abstract: Methods and systems for identifying and recovering from errors in the application of complex entitlement benefits within a distributed transaction processing system are disclosed.

The processing error can be associated with the application of an entitlement to a plurality of transactions. The entitlement can include a defined benefit and a benefit counter. The benefit counter can control a quantity of transactions allowed to receive the entitlement. The impact of the processing error can be assessed in regard to the plurality of transactions.
