Abstract
A system and method for processing information performs actions associated with rules to modify, adjust, calculate and massage data to comport with downstream handling requirements. In one example, bulk uploads from a supplier are treated in accordance with column headings to perfect data to be imported into a marketplace. The system also permits the storage of the rules to process later uploads with similar data structures. The similar data structures may be determined through matching the supplier and marketplace sites with the saved sets.
