AnswerIs workflow appropriate for this requirement - 2?

    We have a business requirement where user wants to manage the rule s for dividing a High(Large) cost element to further smaller cost elements.
    Queries:
    1. Will work-flow foundation be able to tackle this?
    2. How can we exploit the rule engine as the conditions for splitting will be coming from an external source in a set format?
    3. Will Workflow Re-host be good choice to for rule authoring?

    Thanks in advance,

    Hi, Abhinav

    ->"manage the rule s for dividing a High(Large) cost element to further smaller cost elements."
    Do you mean budget management?
    ->"1. Will work-flow foundation be able to tackle this?"
    Could you elaborate your requirement, does this system involve human interaction or  be driven by data?
    ->"2. How can we exploit the rule engine as the conditions for splitting will be coming from an external source in a set format?"
    I would recommend you read this:

    You can composite rules even in excel, check this link:
