Jones Memory Lane, Inc. restores photos for its clients and creates electronic images from the restored photos. The company also frames restored photos and creates sophisticated
custom artworks. Artworks include materials such as glass and frames that are purchased from local suppliers. In addition to supplies for displays, the company purchases office supplies and
packaging materials from several vendors. The company uses an off-the-shelf accounting software package to prepare internal documents and reports. As employees note a need for supplies and
materials, they send an e-mail to Amy, who acts as the office manager and company accountant. Either Amy or her assistant Mary enters order information into the accounting system and creates a
purchase order that is faxed to the supplier. Amy or Mary may also call the supplier if there is something special about the product ordered. When ordered materials and supplies arrive, either Amy
or Mary checks the goods received against a copy of the purchase order and enters the new inventory into the computer system. Amy pays bills twice each month, on the first and the fifteenth. She
checks the computer system for invoices outstanding and verifies that the goods have been received. She then enters any information needed to produce printed checks from the accounting system. The
company mails checks and printed remittance advices (portions of the vendor bill to be returned) to suppliers.
Create a systems flowchart for the purchase and payment processes.
