Abstract:
1. A method for configuring a system to generate a plurality of electronic transactions from settlement data associated with decisioned transaction data originally captured by a plurality of distributed client systems including at least one wireless device, the decisioned transaction data including a digital image, the method comprising the steps of: identifying a first node and a second node in a hierarchy, the first node in a first hierarchy level of the hierarchy and the second node in a second hierarchy level of the hierarchy, the second node being the at least one wireless device and related to the first node as a dependent node in the hierarchy; using a hierarchical data access relationship of the hierarchy to configure the plurality of nodes to coordinate inheritance of decisioning criteria using the hierarchical data access relationship in a top down inheritance implementation by inheriting respective decisioning criteria from the first node to the second node, the respective decisioning criteria for use by the first node and the second node in producing the respective decisioned transaction data associated with the respective settlement data of the nodes; using an attachment point to the second node of the hierarchy to configure the second node to contain local decisioning criteria in addition to the respective decisioning criteria inherited from the first node via the top down inheritance implementation of the hierarchical data access relationship, the local decisioning criteria being restricted from the first node for use in producing the respective decisioned transaction data of the first node, the decisioned transaction data of the second node being based on both the respective decisioning criteria and the local decisioning criteria; wherein the local decisioning criteria defines a minimum information exception for determining that the digital image of the decisioned transaction data of the second node does not contain a minimum amount of transactional information thereby precluding the decisioned transaction data from being associated with the respective settlement data of the second node.
