Implementing The Information Processes Underlying The Sales/Collection Cycle Using Access

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to provide the reader with some exposure as to how accounting information is recorded and processed when a strict relational database approach is implemented. The application described is from the sales/collection cycle and it should provide the information customer with a meaningful Access database exercise that will allow the user to implement the concepts set forth in good database design, as well as the event-driven approach to business technology solutions. The text of this article is excerpted in the form of a student exercise and is included as an Appendix, which can be used as an assignment by the AIS professor.
