Validation method and system

A computing system comprising a processor coupled to a computer-readable memory unit, said memory unit comprising instructions that when executed by the processor implement a validation method, said method comprising:

• receiving, by said computing system, accounting data and a purchasing document, wherein said accounting data is associated with said purchasing document;
• receiving, by said computing system from a calling system, a request for validating said accounting data;
• determining, by said computing system based on said request, a purchasing scenario associated with said purchasing document;
• receiving, by said computing system, a configuration table and validation algorithms, wherein said configuration table comprises accounting elements, wherein each accounting element of said accounting elements comprises parameters, and wherein said validation algorithms comprise rules associated with said accounting elements;
• selecting, by said computing system, relevant accounting elements from said configuration table, wherein said relevant accounting elements are associated with said purchasing scenario;
• selecting, by said computing system, relevant algorithms of said validation algorithms, wherein said relevant algorithms are associated with said relevant accounting elements;
• executing, by said computing system, each algorithm of said validation algorithms on an associated set of parameters of said parameters;
• generating, by said computing system in response to said executing, validation statuses for said relevant accounting elements comprising each said associated set of parameters;
• and
• transmitting, by said computing system to said calling system, said validation statuses.

A computer program product, comprising a computer readable medium comprising a computer readable program code embodied therein, said computer readable program code adapted to implement a validation method within a computing system comprising a computer-readable memory unit, said method comprising:
