Abstract

A computer-implemented financial management system that includes a standardized apply system that, in general, allows a user to relatively easily apply any transaction/document to any other transaction/document. The apply system includes a uniform apply interface that is configured to receive at least two generic transactions. The uniform apply interface applies at least a portion of one of the at least two generic transactions to at least a portion of another one of the at least two generic transactions to produce at least one apply record. The at least one apply record is stored in a database.
