Claims21
A method for operating a computer system to apply an amendment to an export license, the export license containing a plurality of fields having values, the method comprising:
- the computer system retrieving the current values of the fields in the export license;
- the computer system obtaining the fields of the export license to be changed by the amendment;
- the computer system saving the current values of the fields to be changed by the amendment;
- the computer system updating the values of the fields to be changed by the amendment;
- and
- the computer system saving the updated values of the fields from the export license as the current values of the fields in the export license.
A computer readable medium or media having computer-executable instructions stored thereon for operating a computer system to perform a method to apply an amendment to an export license, the export license containing a plurality of fields having values, the method comprising:
- retrieving the current values of the fields in the export license;
- obtaining the fields of the export license to be changed by the amendment;
- saving the current values of the fields to be changed by the amendment;
- updating the values of the fields to be changed by the amendment;
- and
- saving the updated values of the fields from the export license as the current values of the fields in the export license.
A computer system for applying amendments to an export license, the export license containing a plurality of fields having values, the computer system comprising:
- an application server retrieving the current values of the fields in the export license;
- the application server obtaining the fields of the export license to be changed by the amendment;
- a database server coupled to the application server for saving the current values of the fields to be changed by the amendment;
- updating the values of the fields to be changed by the amendment;
- and
- the database server saving the updated values of the fields from the export license as the current values of the fields in the export license.
A method for operating a computer system to authorize shipments of goods against an export license, the export license containing a plurality of fields having values, the method comprising:
- the computer system receiving values identifying the export license and attributes relating to a shipment of goods;
- the computer system retrieving stored current values of the fields of the export license;
- the computer system comparing the attributes relating to the shipment of goods and the related current values of the fields of the export license;
- and
- if the comparison indicates the shipment of goods is within the limits of the export license, the computer system:
- providing an authorization of the shipment of goods;
- saving the current values of the fields of the export license;
- updating the values of the fields of the export license based on the attributes of the shipment of goods;
- and
- saving the updated values of the fields in the export license as the current values of the fields in the export license.
A computer readable medium or media having computer-executable instructions stored thereon for operating a computer system to perform method for authorizing shipments of goods against an export license, the export license containing a plurality of fields having values, the method comprising:
- receiving values identifying the export license and attributes relating to a shipment of goods;
- retrieving stored current values of the fields of the export license;
- comparing the attributes relating to the shipment of goods and the related current values of the fields of the export license;
- and
- if the comparison indicates the shipment of goods is within the limits of the export license:
- providing an authorization of the shipment of goods;
- saving the current values of the fields of the export license;
- updating the values of the fields of the export license based on the attributes of the shipment of goods;
- and
- saving the updated values of the fields in the export license as the current values of the fields in the export license.
A computer system for authorizing shipments of goods against an export license, the export license containing a plurality of fields having values, the computer system comprising:
- an application server;
- and
- a database server coupled to the application server;
- the application server receiving values identifying the export license and attributes relating to a shipment of goods;
- the application server retrieving stored current values of the fields of the export license;
- the application server comparing the attributes relating to the shipment of goods and the related current values of the fields of the export license;
- and
- if the comparison indicates the shipment of goods is within the limits of the export license:
- providing an authorization of the shipment of goods;
- the database server saving the current values of the fields of the export license;
- updating the values of the fields of the export license based on the attributes of the shipment of goods;
- and
- saving the updated values of the fields in the export license as the current values of the fields in the export license.
