Question:
Prepare a System flowchart to account for EVERY ACTIVITY described in the scenario below:
A customer sends a customer order document to a company. A clerk in the sales department enters the data from the customer order document into the computer system using a keyboard. After keying in the data, the customer order document is filed in the sales department by customer number. A computer program processes the entered data by checking the customer’s credit by referring to the customer file (online storage) and by checking inventory availability by referring to the inventory file (online storage). This process also produces a transaction file (online storage). The transaction file is then processed by a computer program that records the transaction data to a sales order file (online storage) and produces three paper copies of a sales order. Copy 1 is sent to the warehouse; copy 2 is sent to the shipping department; copy 3 is sent to the billing department.
