Chapter 13: THE AP/CD PROCESS

 LOGICAL DATABASE DESIGN (ENTITY-RELATIONSHIP DIAGRAM FOR THE AP/CD
PROCESS)

Chapter 12 & Chapter 13 are interrelated to each other. The shaded region is the entities present
in the Chapter 12 ER diagram.
It is clear that the 1st figure is just a mere continuation of the diagram given in chapter 12, thus
making them related and connected to each other. The purchase invoices processed in the
shaded region of the diagram are then processed other for the payment of the orders. Purchase
orders are submitted, validated and recorded and payment for these purchases are processed to
settle the firm’s liability to its creditors.
