Abstract
Enterprise management applications perform a 'revenues increasing the budget' (RIB) operation on general ledger data and store elements of the general ledger data that have a RIB effect in another ledger, called the 'RIB ledger'. RIB ledgers may include sets of RIB rules, storage for documents reflecting all relevant delta values together with the corresponding links to the underlying original transaction documents as well as storage for all relevant aggregated data. Accordingly, when audit operations are performed for RIB budget increases, relevant transaction data is readily available in the RIB ledger. Such copies of the data are more easily accessed than through a search of the larger set of general ledger data, thus facilitating and accelerating use of the RIB techniques in an online system.
