The users of the HR application require validations for employee pay grade and employee job title in the Employee logical file. The employee pay grade will be validated against the Pay Grade logical file which is maintained by the Finance application. The employee job title will be validated against the Job Title logical file which is maintained by the Compensation application.

The MD application maintains two data elements in the Employee logical file. The users of the MD application require additional validations for building and floor within the employee mailing address. The building and floor will be validated against the Building logical file which is a new file being developed by this project.

CORPORATE INFORMATION SYSTEM (CIS) - EMPLOYEE DATA TRANSFER

• From the CIS main menu, the CIS user selects the Transfer Employee Data option.
• The Transfer Employee Data option creates a transaction file of CIS Employee logical file records that have a status flag equal to Add or Change. Each record in the transaction file contains employee badge number, first name, last name, phone number, facility, supervisor badge number, organization, job code, and status flag.
• The CIS transaction file is written to the Financial System (FS) server's temporary file work area. This data transfer is a user requirement for both applications.
• From the FS main menu, the FS user selects the Load Employee Data option.
• The Load Employee Data option accesses the CIS transaction file from the FS server's temporary file work area. The Load Employee Data option processes the input records according to the status flag, initiating different processing logic for Add and Change. The Load Employee Data option loads all attributes from each record to the FS, except the status flag.
• As part of the same elementary process, when an employee is being Added or Changed to the FS Employee logical file it also saves the employee's pay grade code, retrieved from the Payroll System.
• Both applications have a requirement to access a version of the Employee logical file.

An existing EO is updated from 17 DETs and 1 FTR with the addition of 2 new DETs and 3 new FTRs. What is the FP of this updated EO?

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 currency conversion requires reference data from the Currency Exchange logical file, which Is maintained through the Financial application. The Currency Exchange file is updated daily. 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.
