Abstract: A document processing order management system is provided which is linked via a data network with at least one computer system for generating document processing orders. The system includes: an input interface module for receiving document processing orders, a storage module for storing the incoming and the outgoing orders in a waiting queue, an output interface module for sending off the respective processing orders to respective document processing stations. The storage module is configured in such a manner that the sent-off document processing orders are automatically deleted from the document processing order management system only if a confirmation of the respective document processing station is received that the corresponding document processing order has been executed and finished.
