Material Requisition Flowchart. <br>Flowchart Examples *

Material requisition is a request generated by internal or external organization with a goal to inform the purchase department about the needed items and materials. The requisition can be represented as a written document on a pre-printed form or online request in form of electronic document. The electronic inquisition occupies a leading position in a modern world, now the paper forms are replaced by electronic ordering processes and workflows. The requisition is actively used in business as an internal document for notification the store about the needed goods, in medicine for making the orders on medical equipment and medicaments, in industry for creation request for purchasing some items and materials, and so on.

Purchase order processing UML activity diagram

This purchase order processing UML activity diagram was created on the base of activity diagram from the software architecture documentation wiki of the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) of Carnegie Mellon University (CMU).
[wiki.sei.cmu.edu/ sad/ index.php/ Image:PurchaseOrderActivityDiagram.png]
"A purchase order (PO) is a commercial document and first official offer issued by a buyer to a seller, indicating types, quantities, and agreed prices for products or services. Acceptance of a purchase order by a seller forms a contract between the buyer and seller, so no contract exists until the purchase order is accepted. It is used to control the purchasing of products and services from external suppliers.
Creating a purchase order is typically the first step of the purchase to pay process in an ERP system." [Purchase order. Wikipedia]
This purchase order processing UML activity diagram example was created using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the ATM UML Diagrams solution from the Software Development area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

Solution architecture: SAP on Azure

This Azure architecture diagram sample illustrates SAP NetWeaver on Microsoft SQL Server application solution.
It was designed on the base of the Azure architecture diagram from the Microsoft Azure website. [azure.microsoft.com/ en-in/ solutions/ architecture/ sap-netweaver-on-sql-server/ ]
"SAP NetWeaver is a technology of the software company SAP SE, and the technical foundation for many SAP applications. It is a solution stack of SAP's technology products. The SAP NetWeaver Application Server (sometimes referred to as WebAS) is the runtime environment for the SAP applications, and all of the mySAP Business Suite runs on SAP WebAS: supplier relationship management (SRM), customer relationship management (CRM), supply chain management (SCM), product lifecycle management (PLM), enterprise resource planning (ERP), transportation management system (TMS).
The product is marketed as a service-oriented architecture for enterprise application integration." [SAP NetWeaver. Wikipedia]
The Azure architecture diagram example "Solution architecture: SAP on Azure" was designed using ConceptDraw PRO software extended with Azure Architecture solution from Computer and Networks area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

SharePoint server reference architecture for public-facing website scenario

"Microsoft SharePoint is a Web application platform developed by Microsoft. First launched in 2001, SharePoint has historically been associated with intranet, content management and document management, but recent versions have significantly broader capabilities.
SharePoint comprises a multipurpose set of Web technologies backed by a common technical infrastructure. By default, SharePoint has a Microsoft Office-like interface, and it is closely integrated with the Office suite. The web tools are designed to be usable by non-technical users. SharePoint can be used to provide intranet portals, document & file management, collaboration, social networks, extranets, websites, enterprise search, and business intelligence. It also has system integration, process integration, and workflow automation capabilities.
Enterprise application software (e.g. ERP or CRM packages) often provide some SharePoint integration capability, and SharePoint also incorporates a complete development stack based on web technologies and standards-based APIs. As an application platform, SharePoint provides central management, governance, and security controls for implementation of these requirements. The SharePoint platform integrates directly into IIS - enabling bulk management, scaling, and provisioning of servers, as is often required by large organizations or cloud hosting providers."

How to Draw EPC Diagram Quickly

An event-driven process chain diagram is a flowchart used in business process analysis. It evolved from Architecture of Integrated Information Systems (ARIS) and utilised in the business process improvement and analysis. It is also used to facilitate enterprise resource planning. An EPC diagram is a complex flowchart that shows different business processes through various workflows. The workflows are seen as functions and events that are connected by different teams or people, as well as tasks that allow business processes to be executed. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM is a software for making EPC diagrams that allows managers visually present business process models for making decisions for business.

4 Level pyramid model diagram - Information systems types

A four level pyramid model of different types of Information Systems based on the different levels of hierarchy in an organization. The first level represents transaction processing systems for workers. The second level represents management information systems for middle managers. The third level represents decision support systems for senior menegers. The fourth level represents executive information systems for executives.
"The "classic" view of Information systems found in the textbooks in the 1980s was of a pyramid of systems that reflected the hierarchy of the organization, usually transaction processing systems at the bottom of the pyramid, followed by management information systems, decision support systems, and ending with executive information systems at the top. Although the pyramid model remains useful, since it was first formulated a number of new technologies have been developed and new categories of information systems have emerged, some of which no longer fit easily into the original pyramid model.
Some examples of such systems are:
data warehouses,
enterprise resource planning,
enterprise systems,
expert systems,
search engines,
geographic information system,
global information system,
office automation." [Information systems. Wikipedia]

The event-driven process chain flowchart sample "EPC diagram" was created on the base of illustration from "Methods for the specification and verification of business processes. 19 - Event-driven process chains. Roberto Bruni. 2011".
"An Event-driven Process Chain (EPC) is a
particular type of flow-chart that can be used for configuring an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementation.
Supported by many tools (e.g. SAP R/ 3).
EPC Markup Language available (EPML)
as interchange format. ...
EPC overview.
Important notation to model the domain aspects of business processes.
Rather informal notation.
EPC focus is on representing domain concepts and processes (not their formal aspects and technical realization).
It can be used to drive the modeling, analysis and redesign of business process." [cli.di.unipi.it/ ~rbruni/ MPB-12/ 19-EPC.pdf]

How To Create a Workflow Diagram

A workflow diagram is less general notation than a process flow diagram. Workflow as a term can apply to organizational process which involves people, resources, documents, sort of data, for instance; whereas a process is general collection of steps occuring in any sort of activity. That is why process flow diagram can be used as workflow diagram to describe business process, data flow or department interactions. The fastest way to create a workflow diagram is using pre-designed workflow template. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM with the Workflow Diagrams solution delivers rich set of workflow diagram templates you may start from.
