Final Questions Flashcards
Best describes the purpose of a BPMN collapsed sub-process?
Contain a series of activities that are hidden from view
Access Control
limit to who can use and change records in the system (example: passwords control who can use an application)
Accounts Receivable
monies owed by customers for prior sales of goods or services. In data modeling context, AR are calculated as each customer’s sales less corresponding cash receipts
Agents
the people or organizations who participate in business events such as customers and salespeople
Application controls
ensure data integrity and an audit trail (for example: new invoices are assigned sequential numbers)
Cash
organization’s monies in bank or related accounts. the instances of the class are individual accounts. considered a resource
cash receipts
record receipts of cash from external agents (customers) and the corresponding deposit of those receipts into cash accounts. Considered an event
Choreography
the interaction (message flows) between two participants (modeled as pools) in a process modeled using BPMN
Collaboration
A BPMN model showing two participant pools and the interactions between then within a process
Customer
the external agent in the sales and collections process
error event
an intermediate event in a BPMN model showing processing for exceptions to the normal process flow
Events
classes that model the organization’s transactions, usually affecting the organization’s resources such as sales and cash receipts
Many-to-many relationship
exists when instances of one class (sales) are related to many instances of another class (inventory) and vice versa. these relationships are implemented in Access and relational databases by adding a linking table to convert the many-to-many relationship into two one-to-many relationships
one-to-many relationships
exists when instances of one class are related to multiple instances of another class (example: a customer can participate in many sales but each sale involves only one customer)
Orchestration
In BPMN, the sequence of activities within one pool
Product
class representing the organization’s goods held for sales, that is, the organization’s inventory. considered a resource
Quote
description of the products and/or services to be provided to a customer if ordered
REA
resource-event-agent framework for modeling business processes, originally developed by William McCarthy
Sales
Events documenting the transfer of goods or services to customer and the corresponding recognition of revenue for the organization
Sales order
event documenting commitments by customers to purchase products. the sales order event precedes the economic event (sale)
Subprocess
represent a series of process steps that are hidden from view in BPMN. the sue of subprocesses in modeling helps reduce complexity
type image
class that represents management information (such as categorizations, policies, and guidelines) to help manage a business process. Type image often allows process information to be summarized by category
Access point
logically connects stations to a firm’s network
Audit around the computer (or black-box approach)
auditors test the reliability of computer generated information by first calculating expected results from the transactions entered into the system. Then, auditors compare these calculations to the processing or output results
