NOTE: This is a simplified version of a process for the purpose of illustrating flowcharting techniques.
NARRATIVE
A Traveler receives a Guidebook from Amazon and makes a Locations List to visit. The Traveler also views locations online using the Google Maps Program which reads the Earth and Satellite Master files. After comparing information from the guidebook with information on Google Maps, the Traveler revises the Locations List, and then makes Flight Selections using the Airlines Program by retrieving information from the Customer and Flights Master files and entering information into the Customer and Flights Transaction files which sends the Flight Selections to Expedia. The Traveler also prints two copies of the Itinerary using the Airlines Program which views the Customer and Flights Master files and Customer and Flights Transaction files. The first copy is filed in the Travels file cabinet by date. The other copy is sent to a Friend the Traveler will be visiting.
Expedia uses the Flight Selections to confirm prices with the airlines using the Reservations Program which reads the Flight Schedule and Flight Pricing Master files and sends a Price Confirmation to the Traveler. The Traveler reviews the Price Confirmation before making a payment using the Payment Program which updates the Customer and Flights Transaction files and sends Payment Information to the Bank.
The Bank processes the payment using the Credit Card Program which reads the Bank Account Master file and updates the Credit Card Transaction file. The Bank creates three copies of the Payment Confirmation using the Credit Card Program which views the Customer Account Master and Credit Card Transaction files. The first copy is sent to the Traveler, the second to Expedia, and the third copy is filed in the Credit Card Payment file cabinet by customer name then by date. Expedia flags the flights as paid using the Reservations Program which reads the Customer Master file and updates the Flights Transaction file while printing a Paid Confirmation that is filed in the Paid Flights file cabinet by customer number.
