Document process activity using BPMN.

Eli prepares checks for payments to growers and other vendors. The stores email purchase documents to Eli each week (and at the end of the month). He pays all vendors at the end of the month for purchases during the month. If there are multiple purchases from the same grower or other vendor during the month, Eli writes one check for all the purchases. After processing the payments through YNFs online banking application, Eli updates his AP spreadsheet and emails the cash disbursement records to Mia, the accounting clerk. Eli is a little worried, though. He has no ability to verify that the checks are going to valid vendors. He just pays the vendor listed on the purchase documents. He felt that YNF should have an approved vendor list. Additionally, he wanted Forrest to consider using a company credit card for most purchases. It would reduce the workload, errors, and delays involved with emailing documents between stores.
