I don't know anything about HAMMER or SCORECARD, I can only speak from my experience with Kofax software. I will say however, that when processing documents they're put into classes. The hierarchy of documents starts from a document, then a document class, then a batch class. So basically you have a batch of document classes that are collections of documents.

When processing these documents there's multiple "phases" I guess you could call them. And one of the final stages is something called the "validation" step and this is when users/scripts validate the information the software picks up from a document is accurate. And in this step you can have things called validation scripts where you can most definitely change values based on any criteria you want. For example one of the most common issues is dates. Most people with programming experience will agree that dates are a very annoying format to handle especially with how many formats they're written. I frequently write validation scripts that will change date formatting to be the correct format before exporting it to a database. Or for example if you have some sort of check box and you want that to be stored as a T or F value in a database you could easily write an if statement in the validation script that says if this box is checked we will say it's a True boolean value and we'll insert that into the database.

Once again I'm only speaking from my experience with writing code for Kofax's document management software suite. And my boss would never let faults go through to production.
