Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program product construct an updated order and verify compliance with predefined rule(s) prior to submission to a supplier. In a method, first information from a request processor responsive to an inquiry is provided to a source. The method receives an order in a first format that includes second information, different than the first information, from the source. The method analyzes the order relative to predefined rule(s) to identify whether the order satisfies the predefined rule(s). The method converts the order to a second format, different than the first format, and combines the converted order with at least some first information to form an updated order. If the predefined rule(s) are satisfied, the method transmits the updated order to the supplier. However, if a first category of the predefined rule(s) is unsatisfied, the method notifies the source of the predefined rule(s) that were unsatisfied.
