CZ Company distributes beauty and barber supplies. Their existing purchasing system involves the inventory supervisor phoning orders to purchasing, purchase orders being prepared in duplicate with one copy sent to vendors, shipments being checked against packing slips which are forwarded to accounts payable, invoices being reconciled with packing slips and payment being issued. CZ intends to redesign the system to incorporate proper controls. The new system would require purchase orders, receiving reports, invoices and possibly a payment voucher, with copies flowing between purchasing, receiving, accounts payable and other departments.

Department of Accounting and Finance Group Assignment of Accounting Information System 1. CZ Company is a beauty and barber supplies and equipment distributor servicing a five-region area. Management generally has been pleased with the overall operations of the company to date. However the present purchasing system has evolved through practice rather than having been formally designed. Consequently it is inadequate and needs to be redesigned. A description of the present purchasing system is as follows. Whenever the quantity of an item is low, the inventory supervisor phones the purchasing department with the item description and quantity to be ordered. A purchase order is prepared in duplicate in a purchasing department. The original is sent to the vendor, and a copy is retained in the purchasing department filed in numerical order. When the shipment arrives, the inventory supervisor sees that each item received is checked off on the packing slip that accompanies the shipment. The packing slip is then forwarded to the accounts payable department. When the invoice arrives, the packing slip is compared with invoice in the accounts payable department. Once any differences between the packing slip and the invoice are reconciled, a check is drawn for the appropriate amount and is mailed to the vendor with a copy of the invoice. The packing slip is attached to the invoice and filed alphabetically in the paid invoice file. Required A. CZ Company intends to redesign its purchasing system from point in time when an item needs to be ordered until payment is made. The system should be designed to insure that all of the proper controls are incorporated in to the system. Identify the internally and externally generated documents that would be required to satisfy the minimum requirements of a basic system and indicate the number of copies of each document that would be needed. B. Explain how all of these documents should inter relate and flow among CZ’s various departments, including the final destination or file for each copy. (Use DFD).

sales representatives call on customers to take orders. The sales representatives write up the orders and turn them in to a sales order processing (SOP) clerk at the regional center. If the ordered items are in stock, the SOP clerk prepares a picking slip (stock copy) and a packing list for each order. If any of the ordered items are out of stock, the SOP clerk completes an Out Of Stock Notice form, which notes the name of the customer requiring the items and forwards it to Purchasing. A Purchasing clerk then completes a purchase order, which is mailed to a supplier. The SOP clerk notes backordered items on the customer's order and forwards a copy of the annotated customer order to Accounts Receivable (A/R) where an A/R clerk prepares an invoice and sends it to the customer. The SOP clerk also forwards a picking slip and packing list to the Warehouse, where stock pickers fill the order, placing ordered items into boxes along with the packing list. The boxed items and packing list are held for delivery, usually via UPS. Required A. Draw a data flow diagram (DFD) for CZ Corporation. (Existing system) B.
