Assembling parameters to compute taxes for cross-border sales

A system, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the at least one processor, the memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
• transmitting a request to the computer system, thereby causing the computer system to:
• invoke a customer inputs engine to send to a classifier application programming interface (API) and a mapper API the received preliminary data;
• then, in response to the receiving the preliminary data, cause a classifier API to invoke a classifier of the computer system to look up, based on the preliminary data, a classification code for the item;
• then, in response to the looking up the classification code, cause the classifier to return the looked-up classification code to the mapper API via the classifier API;
• then, in response to the classifier returning the looked-up classification code to the mapper API via the classifier API, cause a mapper to store the looked-up classification code in a digital item record for the item in stored data;
• then, in response to the mapper storing the looked-up classification code in the digital item record, cause the mapper to transmit the looked-up classification code for the item to a content database via the mapper API;
• then, in response to the mapper transmitting the looked-up classification code for the item to a content database via the mapper API, cause the mapper to generate, via the mapper API, and based on the looked-up classification code, a parameter request for parameters required for computing a data value associated with providing the item in the particular state;
• then, in response to the mapper generating the parameter request, input, responsive to the generated parameter request, parameters required for computing the data value;
• then, in response to the inputting, responsive to the generated parameter request, parameters required for computing the data value, map the stored preliminary data into the required parameters;
• determine, after the mapping, that a certain one of the required parameters has not had any of the preliminary data mapped into the certain one of the required parameters;
• and
• cause the customer inputs engine to transmit, based on the determination, a supplemental request for supplemental data for the certain parameter, wherein the supplemental request is for missing data for a plurality of required parameters for which there had not been any preliminary data mapped for the item;
• receiving, by the computer system, the supplemental request;
• transmitting, to the computer system and responsive to the supplemental request, supplemental data over a computer network from remote electronic automated smart systems that extract missing data from other stored data of various other remote systems and locations, wherein the supplemental data comprises a plurality of responses that are electronically received in response to the transmitted supplemental request, thereby causing the computer system to further:
• receive the transmitted supplemental data;
• and
• map the received supplemental data into the certain parameter;
• and
• then transmitting to the computer system a request to compute the data value, thereby causing the computer system to:
• compute the data value based on the mapped preliminary data and on the mapped supplemental data;
• and
• transmit a response encoding the computed data value.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

• transmitting a request to the computer system, thereby causing the computer system to:
• invoke a customer inputs engine to send to a classifier application programming interface (API) and a mapper API the received preliminary data;
• then, in response to the receiving the preliminary data, cause a classifier API to invoke a classifier of the computer system to look up, based on the received preliminary data, a classification code for the item;
• then, in response to the looking up the classification code, cause the classifier to return the looked-up classification code to the mapper API via the classifier API;
• then, in response to the classifier returning the looked-up classification code to the mapper API via the classifier API, cause a mapper to store the looked-up classification code in a digital item record for the item in stored data;
• then, in response to the mapper storing the looked-up classification code in the digital item record, cause the mapper to transmit the looked-up classification code for the item to a content database via the mapper API;
• then, in response to the mapper transmitting the looked-up classification code for the item to a content database via the mapper API, cause the mapper to generate, via the mapper API, and based on the looked-up classification code, a parameter request for parameters required for computing a data value associated with providing the item in the particular state;
• then, in response to the mapper generating the parameter request, input, responsive to the generated parameter request, parameters required for computing the data value;
• then, in response to the inputting, responsive to the generated parameter request, parameters required for computing the data value, map the stored preliminary data into the required parameters;
• determine, after the mapping, that a certain one of the required parameters has not had any of the preliminary data mapped into the certain one of the required parameters;
• and
• cause the customer inputs engine to transmit, based on the determination, a supplemental request for supplemental data for the certain parameter, wherein the supplemental request is for missing data for a plurality of required parameters for which there had not been any preliminary data mapped for the item;
• the method further including:
• receiving, by the computer system, the supplemental request;
• transmitting, to the computer system and responsive to the supplemental request, supplemental data over a computer network from remote electronic automated smart systems that extract missing data from other stored data of various other remote systems and locations, wherein the supplemental data comprises a plurality of responses that are electronically received in response to the transmitted supplemental request, thereby causing the computer system to further:
• receive the transmitted supplemental data;
• and
• map the received supplemental data into the certain parameter;
• the method further including:
• then transmitting to the computer system a request to compute the data value, thereby causing the computer system to:
• compute the data value based on the mapped preliminary data and on the mapped supplemental data;
• and
• transmit a response encoding the computed data value.
