Abstract

A computer-readable medium, computer-implemented method, and system are provided. In one embodiment, a new order header object and an original order header object that share a source order number are selected, and one or more new order line objects based on the new order header object are also selected. One or more original order line objects based on the original order header object are selected and the one or more new order line objects and the one or more original order line objects are compared. Where a new order line object and an original order line object match, a reference identity of the new order line object is set to an identity of an original order line object.

selecting a new order header object and an original order header object that share a source order number;

selecting one or more new order line objects based on the new order header object;

selecting one or more original order line objects based on the original order header object;

selecting one or more original order line objects based on the original order header object;

comparing the one or more new order line objects and the one or more original order line objects; and

where a new order line object and an original order line object match, setting a reference identity of the new order line object to an identity of an original order line object.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 7, further comprising:

selecting one or more header attributes from the new order header object and the original order header object;

comparing the one or more header attributes; and

where a header attribute of the new order header object matches a header attribute of the original order header object, setting a reference identity of the header attribute of the new order header object to an identity of the header attribute of the original order header object.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 8, further comprising:

where the new order line object and the original order line object match, selecting one or more line attributes from the new order line object and the original order line object;
