Abstract: An electronic reference at a content host can be accessed to identify a modification to metadata impacting the functioning of an enterprise resource system. A change memo host can generate a change memo with a first entry incorporating a digital reproduction of the electronic reference capturing the metadata, where the generated change memo can be confirmed based on a second entry for an additional electronic reference also identifying the modification to the metadata impacting the functioning of the enterprise resource system. In response to tracking a status of the change memo by the change memo host, an update of the enterprise resource system can be prompted based on the metadata associated with the electronic reference, where the tracked status indicating that the modification of the metadata is confirmed.

Abstract: A change memo system facilitates the identification and review of changes to legal requirements and/or other guidelines that may impact enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. Identified electronic references are tracked for changes. When a change is detected, a change memo is created as a record of the change. The change memo may be reviewed to verify, among things, that the identified change is one that warrants an update to an ERP system and to validate the change. Once the change memo is approved, information from the change memo may be employed to develop and implement an update to an ERP system.
