HC 2 18 September
The sales process starts with a client. The sales dept. Will gather some information
about the client and when the client is approved, the process wil start. The sales
information is released to:
- billing
- warehouse (packing slib)
- shipping (packing slib and shipping control)
When the goods are shipped, the shipping dept. will let the billing dept know. This
information goes to accounts receivable.
At the end, the accounting dept. will gather all this information and put it in the control
accounts in the general ledger.
Common DFD (Data Flow Diagrams) mistakes:
Wrong: Right:
An external party may never directly share information with another external
information, nor may the external party put information in a database. There is always a
process needed to do those things.
