DETERMINING LOCAL CALCULATION CONFIGURATIONS IN AN ACCOUNTING APPLICATION THROUGH USER CONTRIBUTION

摘要

A method to generate a suggested calculation configuration in a software application for a geographical region. The method includes calculation configurations generated by users according to a regulatory requirement of the geographical region, generating a statistical measure of the users and a number of times a task is performed by the users using the calculation configurations, generating, in response to the statistical measure exceeding a threshold, a suggested calculation configuration to represent the calculation configurations, and presenting, in response to at least determining that a new user of the software application is within the geographical region, the suggested calculation configuration to the new user, where the suggested calculation configuration is used by the new user to configure a new instantiation of the software application for performing the task within the geographical region.

1. A method to generate a suggested calculation configuration in a software application for a geographical region, comprising:
obtaining a plurality of calculation configurations generated by a plurality of users according to a regulatory requirement of the geographical region,
wherein each of the plurality of calculation configurations comprises a configuration entry that is used by the plurality of users to configure a plurality of instantiations of the software application for performing a pre-determined task, andwherein performing the pre-determined task within the geographical region comprises at least calculating a result based on the configuration entry; generating, by a computer processor, a statistical measure of the plurality of users and a number of times the pre-determined task is performed by the plurality of users; generating, by the computer processor and in response to the statistical measure exceeding a pre-determined threshold, a suggested calculation configuration to represent the plurality of calculation configurations; and presenting, in response to at least determining that a new user of the software application is within the geographical region, the suggested calculation configuration to the new user, wherein the suggested calculation configuration is used by the new user to configure a new instantiation of the software application for performing the pre-determined task within the geographical region.
