Medical, Automotive sales? 2 years ago the company I worked for did a DocManagement system for a medicare payment house. Mission was to identify all the miss coded to incomplete documents, tally what was wrong and message them back as to why they were not getting paid. This was for the SE Regional payment facility in Nashville. Oh yeah it would also post transactions into the payable system for quality paper submitted as well. :) You can do A LOT with document systems if you want to. The set of rules on this could not be hard coded.
