ACCT-361: Database Project Step One - Semester System project Due by 9/28 Tuesday 11:59pm

Instructions:

Create a complete REA model with cardinalities of the transaction cycle for the industry you

have been assigned. Industry assignments can be found in the Step 1 folder, and are based on

your last name. This is the first step in your System Project.

1. Make up a company name and create a brief narrative of your company's transaction cycle (Sales Cycle or Expenditure Cycle, your choice)

2. Create the complete REA model with cardinalities for your company's transaction cycle. Use Assignment 1, Chapter 19, your module material for Week 1, and the prior semester Assignment 1 narratives and solutions as a resource.

3. Circle the 2 related operating events in your REA model which you have chosen for your system project.  These 2 operating events must be connected by a relationship line. For example, your chosen

events for expenditure cycle cannot be Request Item & Make Payment as these two events are not naturally linked.

 There must be at least 1 many to many relationship related to your chosen events, though having 2 many to many relationships (linking tables) in your selected operating events is highly recommended.

What to submit:

- In the first page, a brief narrative of your company's transaction cycle. This narrative could be a few paragraphs or a single long paragraph, like those in lecture notes.

- In the second page, a complete REA model of your company's Sales or Expenditure cycle with the selected operating events circled.

The REA can be handwritten at this step, although your final project will require this to be completed using a computer application. Complete the required REA in proper format. Points will be deducted for unprofessional or incorrect/late submissions.

Important: Write on the top of the first page the industry and company name that are used as the basis for your REA model. For example, if your industry is restaurant, you will state that and you will include the name of the your company (again, made up by you, not an existing company). Here is an example: Name: Sara Samples Industry: Healthcare Company Name: Arlington Physical Therapy Process: Sales Cycle
