BILLING ACCOUNT REJECT SOLUTION
First Claim
1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a processor on a computer system, perform a method for validating an account number, the method comprising:
- using a first receiver to receive an employee identification number input into a graphical user interface (“
GUI”
);
using the first receiver to receive a billing account number input into the GUI;
using a processor to determine if the billing account number includes a number of consecutive, identical digits;
using the processor to determine if the number of consecutive, identical digits is equal to or greater than a threshold number of consecutive, identical digits;
in the event that the number of consecutive, identical digits is determined to be greater than or equal to the threshold number, using a transmitter to transmit a data file including the employee identification number and the billing account number to a predetermined e-mail address;
in the event that the number of consecutive, identical digits is determined to be less than the threshold number;
using the processor to access a database including valid billing account numbers; and
using the processor to electronically identify an account number included in the database that is identical to the billing account number, wherein a failure to identify an account number identical to the billing account number triggers the processor to disable a plurality of input fields included in the GUI.

Abstract
Apparatus for coordinating a rule-based relationship between a bank, a vendor and a merchant is provided. The apparatus may include a first receiver configured to receive an employee identification number input into a graphical user interface (“GUI”). The apparatus may additionally include the first receiver being configured to receive a billing account number input into the GUI. The apparatus may also include a processor configured to determine if the billing account number includes a number of consecutive, identical digits. The processor may further be configured to determine if the number of consecutive, identical digits is equal to or greater than a threshold number of consecutive, identical digits.

6. An article of manufacture comprising a non-transitory computer usable medium having computer readable program code embodied therein, the code when executed by a processor causes a computer to determine a validity of an account number, the computer readable program code in said article comprising:
-
computer readable program code for causing the computer to receive a bank account number input into the GUI; computer readable program code for causing the computer to determine if the bank account number includes a number of consecutive, identical digits; computer readable program code for causing the computer to determine if the number of consecutive, identical digits is equal to or greater than a threshold number of consecutive, identical digits; in the event that the number of consecutive, identical digits is determined to be less than the threshold number, computer readable program code for causing the computer to access a database including valid bank account numbers and determine if the database includes an entry identical to the bank account number; and in the event that the computer establishes the non-existence of an entry identical to the bank account number, computer readable program code for causing the computer to disable a data input functionality associated with a plurality of input fields included in the GUI. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. An article of manufacture comprising a non-transitory computer usable medium having computer readable program code embodied therein, the code when executed by a processor causes a computer to determine whether or not to close a client account, the computer readable program code in said article comprising:
-
computer readable program code for causing the computer to receive a request to close a client account; computer readable program code for causing the computer to determine if the client account is used for billing purposes; in the event that the computer determines that the client account is used for billing purposes, computer readable program code for causing the computer to display a text field requesting the input of an alternate, valid billing account number; and computer readable program code for causing the computer to deny the request to close the client account until the computer has received an alternate, valid billing account number. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)
