FLOWCHART HOMEWORK

Construct a document flowchart that depicts the sales process below. Make sure to utilize appropriate

rules for constructing your diagram. Restrict your model to the following symbols:

The sales person enters a customer order and prepares a multi$-$part sales order. All copies are

forwarded to the credit department for approval, where the supervisor reviews and approves the credit

request. The credit manager retains a copy of the document, whether credit is granted or not. Approved

sales orders are returned to the sales person for review with the customer. After customer verification

of the approved order, the customer is given a copy and the sales person retains a permanent copy of

the sales order. The remaining copy of the sales order is sent to billing, while the sales clerk initiates a

pick list for the warehouse and pack list for the shipping department.

The warehouse clerk prints two copies of the pick list and assembles the ordered items. The clerk retains

one copy of the pick list for the warehouse records and forwards the second copy with the items to the

shipping department.

The shipping clerk prints three copies of the pack list. Once the items are received from the warehouse,

the shipping clerk verifies the pack list against a physical count and updates the pack list with any

discrepancies and prepares a shipping notice for the carrier. The clerk retains one copy of the pack list

for the shipping records, includes one in the customer shipment and forwards the final copy with the

shipping notice and pick list to the billing department.

Upon receipt of the shipping notice, pick list and pack list, the billing clerk matches up the documents

with the corresponding sales order and reviews for discrepancies. Once confirmed, the clerk updates the

customer's accounts receivable, sends an invoice to the customer and files the documents.
