1) FLOWCHART the following scenario posted below.

2) Identify if and where a journal entry should be recorded and why?

3) Describe the authorization and validity objective for expenditures.

Flowchart the following: The purchasing manager performs the check inventory availability process, whose inputs are the sales journal, inventory transaction file, vendor master file (all on magnetic disk), and the keystroked password of the purchasing manager. The output of this process is a decision. If the balance is greater than 250 items of a particular item, the process is over (use a terminal symbol with end). If the balance is less than 250, the purchasing manager performs the prepare purchase order process, which has as its inputs the inventory master file, vendor master file (both on magnetic disk), and the purchasing managers keystroked password. The outputs of this process are an updated open purchase (PO) file and a PO document that is sent to the vendor. The distribution office receiving the department then performs four processes. First, they perform the determine if the goods are ordered, an alternate process. The inputs into this process are the keystroked password of receiving, the open PO file, and the goods themselves (from the vendor). The output of this process is a decision. If the goods were not ordered, they are sent back with the vendor. If they were ordered, the receiving department manually checks the quality of the goods. The input into this process is the goods. The output is a decision. If the goods are not of quality, they are returned to the vendor. If the goods meet the quality threshold, the receiving department manually performs the sign manifest process. Third, receiving performs the create preliminary receiving report, an alternate scanning process. The inputs into this alternate process are the keyed-in password of the receiving department, the open PO file, and the goods. The output is the preliminary receiving report, which resides in the preliminary holding file. Fourth, the receiving department performs the manual sign shipping manifest process, whose inputs are the unsigned shipping manifest (from the vendor); the output is the signed shipping manifest, which is forwarded to the vendor. The goods are then forwarded to the warehouse. The warehouse then manually recounts the goods and compares them with his read-only quantity per the preliminary receiving report. The output of this process is a decision. If the two do not match, the receiving department must re-perform the prepare preliminary receiving report. If the two do match, the authorize preliminary receiving report process is performed. The inputs into this process are the keystroked approval of the warehouse and the preliminary receiving report. The output is an updated, authorized receiving log, which resides on the magnetic disk. The goods are stored in the warehouse. When the vendors invoice arrives is accounts payable (A/P) (a document from the vendor), the A/P clerk performs the match vendor invoice process whose inputs are the A/P departments keystroked password, the keyed-in vendors invoice, the open PO file, receiving log and vendor master file. The output of this process is a decision. If there are discrepancies in the vendors invoice, the vendor is contacted (use a terminal symbol). If there are no discrepancies, the A/P department performs the update A/P ledger process. The inputs into this process are the keystroked vendors invoice and the vendor master file. The outputs of this process are an updated A/P ledger, receiving log, open PO file, and updated consolidated inventory transaction file (all on magnetic disk). The vendors invoice is filed numerically. The A/P department then performs the prepare preliminary check register process. The inputs into this process are the keystroked password of A/P, the vendor master file, and the A/P ledger. The output of this process is a preliminary check register residing in a temporary holding file. The controller then performs the authorize preliminary check register computer process. The inputs into this process are the keystroked approval of the controller and the preliminary check register. The output is the authorized check register residing on a magnetic disk. The cashier then manually retrieves blank checks. The input into this manual process is the read-only access to the authorized check register. The output is the blank check. Then the cashier performs the run checks program, whose inputs are the cashiers keystroked password, the blank checks, and the authorized check register. The outputs of this process are an updated cash disbursements journal (on magnetic disk), an updated A/P leger, and a check, which gets sent to the vendor.
