The Account Reconciliation Application (ARA) is used by banking operations to match credit (in) and debit (out) transactions within client accounts. Both credit and debit transactions are received from several other applications and stored as the Client Reconciliation logical file. ARA is capable of automatically matching transactions based on the Business Parameters logical file which is maintained by users in the ARA.
Access permissions in the User Access logical file are maintained by users in the ARA, and contain online user account permissions and approval levels.
The users can maintain their own report forms in the Reporting logical file. All reports use the Currency logical file, which is maintained by an external application, to convert the local payment currency to Euros.
From the Names of Possible Functions listed identify the data functions for the ARA. Select N/A if a Name of Possible Function does not apply.
Identify the functions used:
Several data functions are described in the scenario for the Internet Application (IA):
The user may query store locations where an order can be picked up. The Store Location logical file is updated in the IA as new locations open
The user may pay their internet shopping bill using the purchase item option. This option updates the Customer logical file with the date of purchase, the Inventory logical file with stock number and quantity, and Purchase History logical file with date, stock number, price and discounts applied.
Prior to the completion of the purchase item option the purchase amount is converted from US dollars into the user' s local currency. The currency conversion requires reference data from the Currency Exchange logical file, which Is maintained through the Financial application. The Currency Exchange file is updated daily. The payment code is used to determine how the payment will be made.
If this is the user's first purchase, customer Information is added to the Customer logical file. As part of adding customer information the Country file is referenced in order to store country code in the Customer logical file rather than country name.

CORPORATE INFORMATION SYSTEM (CIS) - EMPLOYEE DATA TRANSFER
From the CIS main menu, the CIS user selects the Transfer Employee Data option.
The Transfer Employee Data option creates a transaction file of CIS Employee logical file records that have a status flag equal to Add or Change. Each record in the transaction file contains employee badge number, first name, last name, phone number, facility, supervisor badge number, organization, job code, and status flag.
The CIS transaction file is written to the Financial System (FS) server's temporary file work area. This data transfer is a user requirement for both applications.
From the FS main menu, the FS user selects the Load Employee Data option.
The Load Employee Data option accesses the CIS transaction file from the FS server's temporary file work area. The Load Employee Data option processes the input records according to the status flag, initiating different processing logic for Add and Change. The Load Employee Data option loads all attributes from each record to the FS, except the status flag.
As part of the same elementary process, when an employee is being Added or Changed to the FS Employee logical file it also saves the employee's pay grade code, retrieved from the Payroll System.
Both applications have a requirement to access a version of the Employee logical file.

LIBRARY INFORMATION SYSTEM (LIS) - REGISTER A TEXT
The LIS user Adds data related to a new text in the Library, by entering ISBN code, title, author, publisher, series, typology, publishing date and acquisition date on the screen and pressing the OK button.

If only one text matches the selection criteria, the View Text screen is displayed. ISBN code, title, author, publisher, series, typology, publishing date and acquisition date are displayed.
If a record in the Text logical file does not match the criteria entered, an error message is displayed to the user.
If more than one record matches the criteria, the Multiple Text List List is displayed. For each of the texts that matches the criteria the following attributes are shown: ISBN code, title, author, publishing date and the percentage match to the criteria. The LIS user can display the View Text screen by selecting a single text and pressing the OK button.
The LIS user Changes Text text data by changing any values on the View Text screen with the exception of the ISBN code and pressing the Change button. If the publisher is changed it is validated against the Publishers Guide logical file.
The user Deletes text data from the Text logical file by entering on the screen the ISBN code of the text and pressing the Delete button.

A Corporate Finance application is being developed.
The application adds or updates the Receivable logical file and the Payable logical file. The user requires that this information is sent to the Accounts application to keep accounting records consistent. The combined receivable and payable data is sent to the Accounts application daily at 8:00 PM.
When implementing a solution to send the receivable and payable information, it was decided to include a header and trailer record with the accounts information. These records are used by the Corporate Finance user to ensure that everything was technically correct when transmitting the file.

On pressing the RETRIEVE key, the exam status, exam name, controller number, finals week start date and finals week end date are displayed.
Detailed exam schedules stored within the Schedule logical file are also displayed on the screen as part of the RETRIEVE.
By pressing the ADD key or MODIFY key, the user may add or update the course id, subject id, exam date, start time, end time, proctor and message using exam serial number as the key field. The data is saved in the Schedule logical file with the 'pending approval' in the exam status.
Course id, subject id and exam date pick lists provide data from static tables.
The exam date should be within the finals week start and end dates
