1. A method for implementing raw order sets containing at least one order, the method comprising the steps of:
- a) resolving the at least one raw order set into at least one canonical order set to identify the at least one order within the at least one raw order set; and
b) performing a commonality analysis by comparing the least one canonical order set with at least one other canonical order set to determine at least one common order subset.

Abstract
A system and method is provided for developing, implementing and managing orders whereby a raw order set can be resolved into a canonical order set to identify at least one order within the one raw order set. A commonality analysis can be performed by comparing one canonical order set with another canonical order set to determine at least one common order subset. The canonical order sets sharing at least one common order subset can then be restructured into a hierarchical structure, and prioritized to minimize downstream processing.

7. A method for implementing raw orders containing at least one order item, the method comprising the steps of:
-
a) receiving a raw order comprising at least one order item and resolving the at least one order item to a canonical item of an authoritative catalogue of order items to produce a canonical order set; b) performing a commonality analysis on the canonical order set by comparing the canonical order set to other canonical order sets and organizing the canonical order set into a hierarchical structure or a prioritized order; c) validating the at least one order item in the canonical order set to produce a validated order set; d) configuring and testing the validated order set; and e) activating the validated order set. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
