(2) enabling the first party to change at least one of (a), (b), (c), or (d) of the purchase order information;

(3) producing a modified purchase order information reflecting the change made by the first party; and

(4) communicating the modified purchase order information to the first party.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the first communication session and the second communication session occur at least in part over the Internet.

14. The method of claim 12 , wherein the one or more computers includes a plurality, and wherein the plurality are communicatively coupled at least in part over the Internet, and wherein the first and second communication sessions occur at least in part over the Internet.

15. The method of claim 12 , further comprising, (F) during the first one or more communications, enabling the first party to input authentication information and, (G) during the second one or more communications, communicating the authentication information to the first party thereby indicating to the first party that the second one or more communications has been initiated by an authorized source.
