CHAPTER 3
SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT AND DOCUMENTATION TECHNIQUES
SUGGESTED ANSWERS TO DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
3.1

Data Flows: merchandise, payment, cash and register tape


Date Source: customer
Processes: capture sales and payment, give cash and register tape to manager
Storage: sales file (register tape), cash register

3.2

It is usually not sufficient to use just one documentation tool. Every tool documents a
uniquely important aspect of a given information system. For example, system
flowcharts are employed to understand physical system activities including inputs,
outputs, and processing. In contrast, data flow diagrams provide a graphic picture of the
logical flow of data within an organization.
Each alternative is appropriate for a given aspect of the system. As a result, they work
together to fully document the nature and function of the information system.

3.3

Similar design concepts include the following:


Both methods require an initial understanding of the system before actual
documentation begins. This insures that the system is properly represented by the
diagram.
Both measures require the designer to identify the elements of the system and to
identify the names and relations associated with the elements.
Both methods encourage the designer to flowchart only the regular flows of
information and not to be concerned with unique situations.
Both approaches require more than one pass through the diagramming or
flowcharting process to accurately capture the essence of the system.
The product of both methods is a model documenting the flow of information and/or
documents in an information system. Both documentation methods are limited by the
nature of the models they employ, as well as by the talents and abilities of the designer to
represent reality.

The major flowcharting symbols and their respective categories are shown in Fig. 3.8 in
the text.
With respect to how the symbols are used, student answers will vary. Possible examples
include the following:
Input/Output Symbols
Document: an employee time card, a telephone bill, a budget report, a parking ticket,
a contract
Display: student information monitors, ATM monitors, the monitor on your
microcomputer.
Manual input: cash registers, ATM machines
Processing Symbols
Processing: processing a student payroll program, assessing late fees
Manual operation: writing a parking ticket, preparing a report, collecting and
entering student payments
Storage Symbols
Magnetic disk: alumni information data base, a report stored on your PC hard disk
Magnetic tape: archival student information
On-line storage: a student information data base or an airline reservation data base
stored on-line.
File: purchase order file for a department, a student housing contract file
Flow (Miscellaneous)
Communication link: a telephone linkage that connects you to Prodigy or some
other on-line data base.

not follow the conventions discussed in the chapter. When the authors use this problem they
have the students critique the CMA exam solution, based upon the conventions discussed in

b.

The flowchart in Fig. 3.12. violates the General Guidelines for Preparing Flowcharts in the
following ways.
1.

The text uses the Terminal symbol (the oval) to indicate an external party. Figure 3.12
uses a large arrow to indicate items coming into the system (mail, cash, and items
received from the bank). It uses a line with an arrow that stops in a small vertical line,
accompanied by To customer (or To Bank), to indicate items exiting the system.

2.

The solution has all clerks in one column. Three columns would be better.

3.

Additional comments (Prepare remittance advice if needed) are not enclosed in an


annotation box.

4.

Each manual processing symbol does not have an input and an output. For example, the
symbols under mail clerk do not have an input.

5.

The file symbol (the triangle) does not need the word File in it. The symbol itself
conveys that it is a file.

6.

The numbers on documents do not always accompany the documents as they move
between columns. For example, Sales Invoice 1 is missing the one when it moves to the
Cashier column. This is corrected on the solution.

7.

Some of the solid lines in the problem are correctly changed to dotted lines in the
solution. For example, under Inventory control clerk the lines from Sales Invoice to Post
to the control cards are correctly changed to dotted lines.

Fig. 3.13 violates the General Guidelines for Preparing Flowcharts in the following ways:
1. The text uses the Terminal symbol (the oval) to indicate an external party. Figure 3.13
uses the off page connector symbol.
2. Document numbers should be placed in the top right hand corner of the document
symbol.
3. Sales order 2 is not shown passing through manual symbols labeled g and i so that it can
end up in the file shown at the bottom of the shipping column. The same thing happens
in the other columns.
4. Sales order 4 is filed in the finished goods department, yet the shipping column (third set
of symbols in the column) shows sales order 4. This should be sales order 2, not 4.
5. The line showing information being posted to the accounts received ledger should come
out of symbol g and should be a dotted line. The line to the sales journal (below symbol
o) should also be a dotted line.
6. In the shipping column, when the three Bills of Lading are created, the arrow downward
to symbol i should come from copy 2 of the Bill of Lading, not copy 3. The same applies
to the sales invoice in the Billing Column (arrow from copy 1).
7. Instead of using annotation symbols to tell how documents are filed, use the letter D for
date, N for numerically, and a for alphabetically. When more than one document is being
filed (symbols j, l, and bottom of Billing Column) or the method of filing is unclear
(symbol r, file sales invoice by payment due date) an annotation symbol can be used.
