DFD Problem
Government Solutions Company (GSC) sells computer equipment to federal
government agencies. Whenever a federal agency needs to purchase
equipment from GSC, it issues a purchase order against a standing contract
previously negotiated with the company. GSC holds several standing contracts
with various federal agencies. When a purchase order is received by GSC’s
contracting officer, the contract number referenced on the purchase order is
entered into the contract database. Using information from the database, the
contracting officer reviews the terms and conditions of the contract and
determines whether the purchase order is valid. The purchase order is valid if
the contract has not expired, the type of equipment ordered is listed on the
original contract, and the total cost of the equipment does not exceed a
predetermined limit. If the purchase order is not valid, the contracting officer
sends the purchase order back to the requesting agency with a letter stating
why the purchase order cannot be filled, and a copy of the letter is filed. If the
purchase order is valid, the contracting officer enters the purchase order
number into the contract database and flags the order as outstanding. The
purchase order is then sent to the order fulfillment department. Here the
inventory is checked for each item ordered. If any items are not in stock, the
order fulfillment department creates a report listing the items not in stock and
attaches it to the purchase order. All purchase orders are forwarded to the
warehouse where the items in stock are pulled from the shelves and shipped to
the customer. The warehouse then attaches to the purchase order a copy of
the shipping bill listing the items shipped and sends it to the contracting officer.
If all items were shipped, the contracting officer closes the outstanding
purchase order in the database. The purchase order, shipping bill, and
exception report (if attached) are then filed in the contracts office.
