After reviewing your notes, you write the following narrative summary:

When an order comes in, the order processing clerk checks the customer's credit file to confirm credit approval and ensure that the amount falls within the credit limit. If either of these conditions is not met, the order is sent to the credit department. If an order meets both conditions, the order processing clerk enters it into the system on a standard order form. The information on the form is used to update the company's customer file (in which the name, address, and other information are stored), and the form is then placed in the company's open order file.

When the credit department receives a rejected order, the credit clerk first determines why the order has been rejected. If the credit limit has been exceeded, the customer is notified that his or her credit limit has been exceeded and that the merchandise will be shipped as soon as Dub 4 receives payment. If the customer has not been approved far credit, a credit application is sent to the customer along with a notification that the order will be shipped as soon as credit approval is granted.

Before preparing a packing slip, the system checks the inventory records to determine if the company has the products ordered on hand. If the items are in stock, a packing slip is prepared and sent to the warehouse. If the items are not in stock, then the backorder subroutine goes into effect.

Once notification of shipped goods has been received from the warehouse, a customer invoice is prepared. A copy is filed by the order processing department, another is sent to the customer, and another is sent to the accounting department so that accounts receivables can be updated. A note is placed in the customer file indicating that the invoice has been sent.
