Abstract
Formatting of data entered and/or stored in a financial transaction record may be automatically corrected or modified to an expected or compatible format. The format in which data is to be stored may be defined by a financial institution processing the transaction and/or a customer affected by the transaction. Format rules may be defined and used to judge whether a transaction record parameter meets the required format. If so, the record parameter may be validated and saved. If, however, the parameter is not formatted according to the rule, the system may automatically revise the value stored in the parameter to satisfy the requirements. According to another aspect, if a transaction record has been modified, manual confirmation of the change may be requested.
