This invention relates generally to the field of electronic commerce software applications and, more particularly, to an electronic system and method for creating, managing and authenticating documents, such as commercial contracts, in electronic form. A system is provided to accommodate the automatic input of externally generated content. A system generated cover page containing user selected data is provided which is attached to externally generated content (e.g. a custom agreement) and which is used to track a document image inputted into the system. The cover page contains unique system generated barcode information which allows the cover page and associated custom agreement to be tracked, retrieved and validated by authorized users of the system. The barcode reflects the document number, revision number and a unique system generated document digest. The system also contemplates the use of redundant barcodes and a digest reference, both of which serve to uniquely identify the document, while minimizing scan error rates.
