Abstract: A system for ensuring compliance with regulations includes a data storage for storing compliance-related data pertaining to products. The system also includes a communication interface for receiving information from an entity (such as an order-entry system) pertaining to an order placed by the entity or customer-related information. The system also includes functionality for examining the information to determine whether it may be successfully processed by the system, and if so, for processing the information. The system further includes functionality for storing an indication of the information in a suspense storage area when the system determines that it cannot be successfully processed. The system also provides an interface maintenance module, including functionality for: (i) examining the indicated information in the suspense storage area; (ii) making changes in response to the indicated information; and (iii) resubmitting the information for processing by the system after the changes have been made.
