Abstract: The base business object key may be used to create business object keys. The base business object key may contain the data for the business object variations and the ability to perform the certain behaviors including comparison behaviors against that data.

Abstract: Business logic may be separated into pieces and each piece may be pluggable (i.e. replaceable). An event model is created to allow subscribers to listen to business events, the business logic is implemented into a series of strategies that are subscribers to the business events and the business strategies are late bound so they can be replaced. Each strategy is written with granular protected behaviors.

Abstract: In order to make business software operate remotely as a web service, the web service may have to be extendible. This extendibility may require several additions to the base software that is now operating as a web service program.

Abstract: A system for remotely providing services includes an object model having a behavior option object that is indicative of one of a plurality of different ways in which a service behavior can be performed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a computer-implemented financial management system that includes a standardized apply system that, in general, allows a user to relatively easily apply any transaction/document to any other transaction/document. The apply system includes a uniform apply interface that is configured to receive at least two generic transactions. The uniform apply interface applies at least a portion of one of the at least two generic transactions to at least a portion of another one of the at least two generic transactions to produce at least one apply record. The at least one apply record is stored in a database.
