Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method for improving computer processing efficiency, comprising:
using a coding computer comprising at least one processor and a computer-readable storage medium storing sequences of rules processing instructions, parameter generating instructions, and tax code assignment instructions, executing the rules processing instructions to cause retrieving, at the coding computer, a set of computer-executable rules that define assigning one or more tax codes for a first entity based on a plurality of parameters, and electronically storing the set of rules as one of an XML file, YAML file, JSON file, MessagePack file, or CSV file, in a digital data repository;
executing by the at least one processor the parameter generating instructions to cause receiving from a buyer computer, at the coding computer, digital invoice data that defines an electronic payment invoice directed to the first entity;
executing by the at least one processor, at the coding computer, the parameter generating instructions that are programmed to automatically determine one or more commodity types applicable to the invoice data by digitally cross-referencing line items in the invoice data representing goods or services to community transaction data using a machine learning algorithm;
using the coding computer, executing by the at least one processor the tax code assignment instructions to cause the at least one processor to automatically assign one or more tax codes to the invoice data based on the one or more commodity types and the set of computer-executable rules that are stored in the digital data repository; and
causing to display the one or more commodity types and the one or more tax codes in a graphical user interface.
