Systems, methods, and computer program products for creating and managing database records. A database management system receives requests to exchange tickets. In response to determining that a request requires enhanced processing, the system queries a penalty collection database for instructions on providing the enhanced processing. The instructions may be identified based on an identity of a provider of a travel product and/or the market in which the product is sold. The penalty collection database may include a table that provides instructions on collecting the penalty which are indexed to a specific provider, market, or combination of provider and market. If a penalty is owed for the exchange, the instructions may cause the system to implement a specific method of collecting the penalty. The instructions may cause the penalty to be encoded and stored in a manner specific to the provider and/or market to avoid an incompatibility with another system.
