Is the overview of movement of accounting information through organization. It also reviews the internal control issues.
The Conceptual System
Three processes that constitute the revenue cycle
- Sales order procedures
- Sales return procedures

involved receiving and processing a customer order, filling the order and shipping products to the customer at the proper time, and correctly accounting for the transaction.

Cash Receipts Procedure
Cash Receipts Procedure
- Open mail and prepare remittance advice
- Record and deposit checks
- Update Accounts Receivable

- Reconcile cash receipts and deposits
these are internal control activities that will guide us in designing and evaluating transaction processing controls.
Revenue Cycle Controls
Begins with a review of manual procedures and then moves to deal with several forms of compute-based systems.
The Physical System
the purpose of this section is to support the system concepts presented in the previous section with models depicting people, organizational units, and physical documents and files.
Manual Systems
Sales Order Processing (PHYSICAL SYSTEM)
- Sales Department
- Credit Department Approval
- The Shipping Department
- Billing Department
Sales Return Procedures under Physical System

involves using technology to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of a task.
Automation
involves radically rethinking the business process and workflow.
Reengineering
- Automating Sales Order Processing with Batch Technology
- Sales Department
- Credit Department Approval
- Warehouse Procedure
- Shipping Department
-It begins with the arrival of batches of shipping notice
- The resulting transaction file will thus contain many separate batches of records. For each batch stored on the file, the batch control totals are automatically calculated.
Keystroke
__________ converts the hard copy of shipping notice to digital form to produce a transaction file of sales order.

The edit program first validates all transaction records in the batch by performing clerical and logical tests on the data. After validating, it recalculates the batch control totals to reflect any changes due to removal of error records. The edited sales order file is then passed to the file update run.
Edit Run
This system generates a number of management reports, including sales summaries, inventory status reports, transaction listings, journal voucher listings, and budget and performance reports.
