Abstract
A method, system, and computer program product for enterprise accounting software applications. The computer implemented method commences upon receiving a single user-specified indication of a subject cost item. Then, responsive to the single user-specified indication, the method traverses from the subject cost item to at least one of a successor cost item or a predecessor cost item. Then, still responsive to the single user-specified indication of a subject cost item, the method proceeds to automatically retrieve information from the successor cost item or from the predecessor cost item. Then, still responsive to the single user-specified indication, the method invokes operations for displaying a representation of the subject cost item in a juxtaposition to the automatically traversed-to items. A user can configure traversing from a purchase requisition to a purchase order, and/or traversing from a purchase order to a payable invoice, and/or traversing from a payable invoice to a project expenditure.
