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.

Abstract: Data may be provided in a language chosen by a user. A data record may be stored in a database using symbols to represent data. These symbols may be converted into various languages. A resource file for a given language defines a correspondence between the symbols in the record and the words in that language. A user indicates a choice of language in which to receive data. The user's choice is stored in the database, and conversion information from the resource file for the user's chosen language is copied to the database. When a program connects to a database and requests data records, the user's language choice is retrieved from the data, and the conversion information stored in the database is used to convert the data records into the chosen language. The requested data is then provided to the application in the user's chosen language.

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 is provided that identifies a tax event that is to be included in a tax document and creates the tax document based on the tax event. The tax event is then locked when saving the tax document so that the tax event cannot be edited or voided. In addition, tax liability created by the tax document is posted to a financial account as part of saving the tax document.
