Document flowchart (Problem 3.13) The individual stores in the Mark Goodwin convenience store chain prepare two copies of a goods requisition form when they need to order merchandise from the central warehouse. After these forms are completed, one copy is filed in the store’s records and the other copy is sent to the central warehouse. The warehouse staff gets the order and files its copy of the requisition form In its records. When the warehouse needs to restock an item, three copies of the purchase order form are filled out. Once copy is stored in the warehouse files, one copy goes to the vendor, and the third copy goes to the accounts payable department.
Systems Flowchart (problem 3.17) The order-writing department at the Winston Beauchamp Company is managed by Alan Most. The department keeps two types of computer files: (1) a customer file of authorized credit customers, and (2) a product file of items currently sold by the company. Both of these files are direct-access files stored on magnetic disks. Customer orders are handwritten on order forms with the Winston Beauchamp name at the top of the form, and item lines for quantity, item number, and total amount desired for each product ordered by the customer. When customer orders are received, Alan Most directs someone to input the information at one of the department’s computer terminals. After the information has been input, the computer program immediately adds the information to a computerized ‘order’ file and prepares five copies of the customer order. Their first copy is sent back to Alan’s department; the others are sent elsewhere.
