Abstract
A system and method are disclosed for computer implementation of a plurality of diverse commercial functions, the system comprising a central processing unit (CPU), a first plurality of storage modules each individually addressable by the CPU and containing what is termed a 'component subprocess', and a second plurality of storage modules, each also individually addressable by the CPU and containing what is termed a 'log point'. Planner interactive means are provided and furnished by the CPU from further storage of the system with menus for the planning of what are termed system 'products'. Such menus present for selection various components which can be implemented. Responsively to planner component selection, for each component selected by the planner, the CPU responds by displaying the component processes associated with such component and the planner accumulates desired products by selecting component processes. Again from system storage, the CPU furnishes, for display and selection, system log points, which are predefined conditions in a component process which collect transaction information. In providing products for use, the CPU obtains log points and component subprocess from storage in sequences according with the component processes of the products.
