Patent ID: 7302408

Claim:
A computer-implemented method, comprising: retrieving an internally generated first transaction; receiving at least one externally generated second transaction, wherein the internally generated first transaction and the at least one externally generated second transaction are associated with a first type of balance pool; matching the internally generated first transaction with a third transaction, wherein the third transaction is associated with a second type of balance pool different from the first type of balance pool, wherein the first type of balance pool and the second type of balance pool are selected from the group consisting of (i) a cash balance pool, (ii) a securities balance pool, and (iii) a foreign currency balance pool; importing data associated with the matched third transaction into an import field of the internally generated first transaction; reconciling the internally generated first transaction with one of the at least one externally generated second transaction using the import field of the internally generated first transaction, wherein the import field is not available with the internally generated first transaction prior to importing; and storing an indication of the reconciled internally generated first transaction and the externally generated second transaction in a memory.
