Accounting Information Systems Flowchart Symbols

What are Information Systems Flowchart Symbols
Accounting Information system is a combination of software and hardware, as well as organizational support. Information system - it is not only the software and computers with network equipment, but also a list of instructions and standards which can be notated using Accounting information systems flowchart symbols. All information systems can be divided into information retrieval and data processing systems. Data Flow model is a hierarchical model. Each process can be divided into structural components, that depict by corresponding flowchart symbols, showing the accounting information system in communication with the external environment. The major components of accounting information systems flowchart are: entities, processes, data stores, and data flows. The set of standard accounting information flowchart symbols is intended to show the relationships between the system components. ConceptDraw PRO can help to draw clear accounting information system diagrams using special flowchart symbols.
The Data flow diagram (DFD) example "Payment for goods using UPS code scanner" shows data flow in process of payment for goods in the shop using the MaxiCode scanner.
"MaxiCode is a public domain, machine-readable symbol system originally created and used by United Parcel Service. Suitable for tracking and managing the shipment of packages, it resembles a barcode, but uses dots arranged in a hexagonal grid instead of bars. MaxiCode has been standardised under ISO/ IEC 16023.
A MaxiCode symbol (internally called "Bird's Eye", "Target", "dense code", or "UPS code") appears as a 1 inch square, with a bullseye in the middle, surrounded by a pattern of hexagonal dots. It can store about 93 characters of information, and up to 8 MaxiCode symbols can be chained together to convey more data. The centered symmetrical bullseye is useful in automatic symbol location regardless of orientation, and it allows MaxiCode symbols to be scanned even on a package traveling rapidly." [MaxiCode. Wikipedia]
This example of data flow diagram (Gane & Sarson notation) was created using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Data Flow Diagrams solution from the Software Development area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

How to Create a Data Flow Diagram using ConceptDraw PRO

ConceptDraw Data Flow diagram (DFD) example
Data flow diagramming is a highly effective technique for showing the flow of information through a system. Data flow diagrams reveal relationships among and between the various components in a program or system. DFD is an important technique for modeling a system’s high-level detail by showing how input data is transformed to output results through a sequence of functional transformations. The set of standard symbols is used to depict how these components interact in a system. ConceptDraw PRO allows you to draw a simple and clear Data Flow Diagram using special libraries.
