Abstract: A data transaction system allows performing a transaction related to a data unit, where the data unit can be independently saved and retrieved, from an upper layer to a storage layer without causing a database deadlock related to the data unit in the storage layer. The data transaction system uses a first stage for transferring the data unit from the upper layer to the storage layer, and a second stage to save the transferred data unit independent of the upper layer. The data transaction system guarantees data consistency in applications using multiple layer architecture and at the same time avoiding cost and inefficiencies related to a database deadlock scenario.

Abstract: A method of automatically converting from accrual based accounting to cash basis accounting using a computer is disclosed. The method may include reviewing an entry in a general ledger, determining whether an entry in the general ledger is for a transaction between general ledger accounts that are treated differently in accrual based accounting and cash based accounting, for an entry determined to be between general ledger accounts that are treated differently in accrual based accounting and cash based accounting, calculating a modifying entry to convert the entry from accrual basis accounting to cash basis accounting, applying the calculated modification entry to the entry, and creating a modified balance sheet and modified income statement based on the modified entry.

Abstract: A method of modifying an original transaction document of a computerized accounting system that includes a general ledger having original transaction postings corresponding to transactions contained in the original transaction document, a new transaction document is generated in response to a command to edit the original transaction document. Next, the new transaction document is modified and saved as a modified new transaction document. The original transaction postings in the general ledger are then nullified. Finally, transactions of the modified new transaction document are posted in the general ledger.
