Presentation on “NADRA”• Overview of the Information System and subsystems• Presented by one of the Assistant Directors: Syed
Asad Hussain Bukhari• Need to develop your questions for the presentation• Most probably on Wednesday 12th Nov at 10.15 am• This is an important presentation in the context of
“Information systems facilitating critical operations in the Government Sector
Transaction Processing Overview• What are these Systems?
– Support business transactions– Huge amount of Accounting Data
• Sales and Purchase Transactions
– Student Enrollment (Another example)
• Important Features Regarding Transaction processing– Huge amount of transactional data to be handled– Accurate Recording a key necessity– Issuance of important documents– Sensitivity of data (Errors could be heart-breaking)– EDIs could be seen as an extended TPS option– Management knows that it can’t compromise on a faulty/ inefficient TPS
(so you will find management providing enough resources to improve in this context)
Transaction Processing…• The Evolution
– The Early Computer Applications were in Operational/Transactional areas of business
– Most of the organizations still believe that computers only can help at this level of organizations (no need for DSS or other applications)
– Almost every modern organization (good ones) have the TPS, so maintenance and updation the two major activities for organizations already having TPS
– But linking your partner entities with your systems have given new life to TPSs
• Transaction Processing, what exactly it is?– Transaction is basically exchange of goods/services for money– Three Major Functions– Bookkeeping, Issuance & Control Reports
TP Functions• Bookkeeping
– Records of Business Transactions– Day-to-day transactions with customers and suppliers– Airline Reservations Systems keep record of airline tickets issued– Student Registration & Fees – General Accounting Principals used for the purpose
• Issuance– Documents Necessary for transaction processing– Invoices, pay-checks, bills, & Reminders etc.– These documents are not buy-products but are essential part of a TPS
• Control Reports– By-product reports for operational control– Non-scheduled reports & Error Reports etc.
Transaction Processing…• Transaction Processing Cycle
– Data Entry • Transactional Data collected, recorded by data operators• New way of “source data automation”(key-less data entry)
– Transaction Processing & Updation• Batch Vs. Real-Time Processing
– Document & Report Generation• Informational Documents (Confirmation docs like Sales Receipts, Customer invoices)• Action Documents (purchase order indicates that items mentioned should be supplied
by suppliers to organizations)• Accounting Statements (Balance sheets, cash flow statements)• Listings (provide lists of transactions in a specific time period)
– Inquiry Processing• Order Status checked by customers (most online travel agencies offer this facility)• Customer satisfaction notices (in reply to customer concerns)
Transaction Processing Systems• Payroll• Order Entry• Inventory• Invoicing• Shipping• Accounts Receivable• Purchasing• Receiving• Accounts Payable• General ledger
Payroll Systems• Payroll are the most common Transaction Systems in organizations• Basic purpose is to produce “paychecks” for organizational
employees• By-products for this system could be tax statements, social security
notices, insurance documents• Usually seen as an independent and straightforward system in most
organizations• Employees Work Information is the key:
– Hrs (Time period calculated, that may be in days)– Rate per Hour (depend upon the type of employee I.e. permanent Vs.
contractual)– Tax deductions (if applicable)– Net or Total Income (Eventually Transferred to General Ledger)

Order Entry Systems• Another crucial system working in manufacturing as well as service
organizations• Customers placing orders for goods/services offered by your organization
– Demand Orders Vs. Scheduled Orders
• The order processed in the organization– Authentication (Accuracy Checks)– Product/service availability check (Stock Level check)– Full Vs. Partial Orders
• Notification to Customers in case of partial filling of orders• Rejection Notice• Notification to Accounts as well
• New & Credit Customers– Authentication of Credit Customer accounts– Identification of New Customers

Order Entry System…• Other Factors
– Security Checks• Specially in the case of a website receiving orders online
– Control Factors• Size and Capacity (Operational constraints)
– Supporting documentation• Slips given to customer in case of awaiting orders
– Customer Relation activities• Display Notices
– Telecommunication playing crucial role in Order Entry• Laptops and Notebooks used by Salesperson to collect order and
that are transmitted to companies electronically
Inventory System• Inventory refers to the number of products/services a
company have to sell and also the materials (usually refers as “Raw Material”) in stocks
• Inventory not necessarily refer to physical merchandize but it could be– Seats available in airline ticketing systems– No of seats available in certain department of a university
• Crucial information generated by Inventory Systems– Inventory levels– Products Performance– Information related to Backorders

Account Receivable System• Credit Customers
– Organizations are often dealing with customers who have maintained their accounts with organization throughout the years
• Account Receivable System– Manages customer purchase record– Customer payments– Account Balances
• Features of Acc. Rec. System– Usually customers are billed monthly– Updation is done on the credit record of customers when they
made partial or full payments, and they are also notified about that

Purchasing• Many organizations have a purchase department (also known as
procurement department)• Many other departments are (at times inconveniently) dependent
upon this department for required items• The Process
– Starting with a purchase request from stock– The process is followed by vendor-selection process– Formal Purchase Order is usually derived – Vendor selection is mostly done informally but usually a formal
procedure is often carried out– Once the purchase order is filled the initiated order is closed out for
further procedures
• Most of the organizations carry this process electronically
