new payroll and revenue systems are, Fixing the issues of the price book;Improvement of the data collection
process so that the issue with the ‘double entering’ of data in the system is reduced. Reducing the manual data
entry process to reduce the scope of error in data entry, Automating the warehouse and stock management
process ,Automating employee working hour tracking process, Implementation of a centralised system to
connect all branches Create a logical data flow diagram of the current business system. Sufficient detail
should be included to clearly show all current processes.Currently, each store runs semi-independent
business and data are collected in a paper based information system. There are following types of employees at
each of the outlets. Sales person-Storeman- Store manager Sales persons handles the selling and taking care
of fishes in the store. Storeman processes the deliveries of the stocks of the fishes and the aquarium supplies.
And a store manager keeps records of the details of the sales, orders of new stocks from the head office, rosters
of the sales staffs in a week and sending the weekly payroll details to the head office. The Payroll system at the
head office is a computerised system. A price book is maintained at the head office and the copy of the same is
distributed to all outlets. Head office has an office manager who takes updated prices from the suppliers and
updates the same in the price book, or updates the prices from the invoices sent by the suppliers. When there is
a selling activity from any store, the sales person of the store takes the price from the price book and adds that
to the customer invoice. Then the sales person collects payment from the customer and updates the daily sales
register. Store manager updates the stock cards of each item manually based on the sales of the previous day
and the orders for the items and the shipments from the head office. Stock replenishment is also a manual
process. Create a logical data flow diagram for the new business system. The dataflow diagram should
clearly show the new processes to sufficient detail to identify all processes.The proposed information system

payroll management system. The logical DFD of the proposed information system is given below, In this case,

the automated sales process directly. So, all stock and price related information will be fetched from the system.

employee details also and will prepare rosters for them and will determine their payments. Create an E-R
Diagram of the system entities for the proposed new payroll and revenue systems, clearly showing the
