Abstract
A system and method for defining a custom business process associated with a financial transaction. Defining a business process includes creating one or more forms for exchanging information among a customer, a financial institution, and, optionally, a vendor or other third-party who performs one or more sub-transactions related to the financial transaction. The system and method of the present invention provide for customizing each form to include one or more data elements associated with the financial transaction. The selected data elements are subsequently used to define logical relationships for automating order placement of sub-transactions. The logical relationships are triggered by one or more predetermined events. Once triggered, the logical relationships are applied, and the result or outcome is used to perform other tasks associated with the financial transaction automatically.
