Appliance Depot is a large retail organization that sells a variety of home appliances. The company has several locations along the east coast and inventory is purchased from a variety of vendors. Managers at each location are responsible for creating a purchase requisition for needed inventory items. The requisition must be approved by the regional manager. The approved purchase requisition is forwarded to the Purchasing Department where a purchase clerk prepares a purchase order for approved goods. In order to obtain certain goods from preferred vendors, multiple purchase orders may need to be created for each requisition. A two part purchase order form is created with one copy being filed in the Purchasing Department and the second copy being forwarded to the vendor. Due to a variety of reasons - some inventory items on a purchase order may be backordered and arrive at a later date. When the goods arrive at the warehouse, a receiving clerk inspects and approves the delivery. Appliance Depot has good payment relationships with its vendors and is therefore allowed to make partial payments on purchases. In addition, several vendors allow Appliance Depot to accumulate monthly purchases with one payment at month-end. Checks are written by an accounts payable clerk from one of two general checking accounts and signed by the accounting manager. Appliance Depot is permitted by most vendors to make returns within 30 days. Returned goods are sent from the warehouse. The receiving clerk prepares a two part return report, one copy is sent with the goods and one is filed in the warehouse. The following additional business rules apply: - Inventory items are not uniquely identified. That is, they are "category" type items. Required: 1. On the next page, create an REA model of the acquisition process described above. On the model, add the cardinalities that describe the relationships between the operating events. Due to limited time, do not add the cardinalities between the events and the resources or between the events and the agents. 2. Also on the next page, create any table(s), complete with primary key attributes, foreign keys, and non-key attributes, needed to record the PURCHASE ORDER event. List the transaction/event table(s) and the master/maintenance tables. You must use proper notation. Points will be deducted for improper notation.
