QUESTION 3

Develop an activity diagram based on the following narrative. Note any ambiguities or questions that you have as you develop the model. If you need to make assumptions, note them also.

The shipping department receives all shipments on outstanding purchase orders. When the clerk in the shipping department receives a shipment, they find the outstanding purchase order for those items. The clerk then sends multiple copies of the shipment packing slip. One copy goes to purchasing, and the department updates its records to indicate that the purchase order has been fulfilled. Another copy goes to accounting so that a payment can be made. A third copy goes to the in-house requesting customer so that they can receive the shipment. Once payment is made, the accounting department sends a notification to purchasing. Once the customer receives and accepts the goods, they send a notification to purchase. When purchasing receives these other verifications, it closes the order as fulfilled and paid.
