Context Diagram, Flowchart, DFD and system documentation Any one of the systems documentation procedures can be used to adequately document a given system. Context: Harry is the owner of Sydney-Geelong Ltd (hypothetical company) and has decided to document and analyse the accounts payable process so the transition to a computerised system will be easier. He also hopes to improve any weaknesses he discovers in the system. In the following narrative, Harry explains what happens at Sydney-Geelong Ltd: Before Sydney-Geelong Ltd pays a vendor invoice, the invoice must be matched against the purchase order used to request the goods and the receiving report that the receiving department prepares. Because all three of these documents enter the accounts payable department at different times, a separate alphabetical file is kept for each type of document. The purchase orders that are forwarded from purchasing are stored in a purchase order file. The receiving reports are stored in a receiving report file. When vendor invoices are received, the accounts payable clerk records the amount due in the accounts payable file and files the invoices in the vendor invoice file. Sydney-Geelong Ltd pays all accounts within 10 days to take advantage of early-payment (cash) discounts. When it is time to pay a bill, the accounts payable clerk retrieves the vendor invoice, attaches the purchase order and the receiving report, and forwards the matched documents to Harry.
