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 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.

The Procurement application requires the ability to maintain information on each new supplier. The information that must be maintained on the Supplier logical file includes:

 Supplier id

 Supplier name

 Supplier mailing address

 Supplier skill

As a result of creating a new supplier record, the supplier's annual costs should be automatically calculated and saved with the other supplier information.

Orders are maintained in the Order logical file by the Procurement application. The Accounts Payable logical file is updated for each order. Line items for each order are stored in the Order Detail subgroup of the order logical file.

Backorders and delivery errors are tracked by the Procurement application on the Transparency Track Record logical file. This file is compared to each supplier's values in the Service Level Agreement logical file which is maintained by the Contract application. The Procurement application produces a report for the Legal Office of suppliers that are performing outside of their Service Level Agreement.
