ABSTRACT:
A method, system, apparatus, and computer program product for processing e-commerce information are presented. A first business entity and a second business entity may transfer e-commerce agreements through an electronic marketplace. After receiving a document for an e-commerce agreement that represents a legal agreement for a commercial transaction between the first business entity and the second business entity, the first business entity retrieves dependency information about the commercial transaction from the e-commerce agreement. The first business entity then incorporates the dependency information, e.g., dates, costs, deliveries, etc., as dependency relationships within a project model that represents a project for a product or service for sale by the first business entity. The project model may comprise objects representing tasks to be performed or physical components to be processed by the first business entity. The dependency relationships are subsequently used to constrain modifications of the project model with respect to specific parameters.
