Abstract
A system is provided that searches and matches data. The system receives a payload including one or more data values, where the one or more data values represent an item configuration. The system further generates a match key for the payload that includes at least one data value of the one or more data values. The system further compares the match key with one or more match keys stored in a match repository. The system further retrieves a configuration item identity from the match repository when the match key matches a match key stored in the match repository, where the configuration item identity represents a previously ordered item configuration. The system further generates a new configuration item identity when the match key does not match a match key stored in the match repository, where the new configuration item identity represents the item configuration.
