Based on the following small extract from Polis Grocers Inc, fill in the missing activities in the table of entities and activities presented below.
Martin Shoes, Inc. manufactures and distributes orthopedic footwear. To sell its products, the marketing department requires sales personnel to call on the shoe retailers within their assigned geographic territories. Each salesperson has a laptop computer, which he or she uses to record sales orders during the day and to send these sales orders to Martin’s network nightly for updating the company’s sales order file.
Each day, warehouse personnel review the current sales orders in its file, and where possible, pick the goods and ready them for shipment. (Martin ships goods via common carrier, and shipping terms are generally FOB from the shipping point.) When the shipping department completes a shipment, it also notifies the billing department, which then prepares an invoice for the customer. Payment terms vary by customer, but most are net 30. When the billing department receives a payment, the billing clerk credits the customer’s account and records the cash received.

- American Labs American Labs provides lab testing services for a variety of clients, mostly doctors’ offices and other small medical businesses throughout the Midwest. Clients send test vials containing blood samples or other test requests to American Labs’ testing center, where the requested tests are performed, after which the results are sent back to the client via fax. Jim Larsen, the head technician in the testing facility at American Labs, has approached you for help with the company’s outdated inventory tracking system. Business has picked up recently, and the turnaround for clients’ requested tests has been lengthening. To make matters worse, the lab technicians are seldom able to give customers an answer regarding where their requests fall in the testing queue or how long they can expect the turnaround to be. Much of this stems from an old, mostly paper-based inventory tracking system, which includes handwritten labels put on each of the incoming test vials and a logbook with…arrow_forwardThe following is a description of manufacturing company’s purchasing procedures.
