This problem illustrates how business event data from feeder processes can be transformed into GL/accounting information. It should be completed with database software, such as Microsoft Access.

1. Using the E-R diagram in Figure 11.9 (pg. 408), select the CUSTOMERS, SALES_INVOICES, and CASH_RECEIPTS entities and implement them as tables using Microsoft Access (or any other database software acceptable to your instructor). Link the tables using the cardinalities shown in the figure. For the tables, you may use attributes shown in Figure 11.10 (pg. 410) or create different attributes.

2. Create forms for each table from part 1 of this problem and use the forms to populate the tables with representative data. Forms should be in good order, readable, and properly formatted. Create at least three records in each table. Print out the populated tables and one instance of each form.

3. Design a query using the tables from part 1 of this problem to determine outstanding accounts receivables for each customer (i.e., the difference between how much each customer has been invoiced and how much each customer has paid toward the invoice). Print out the output of the query and attach an explanation as to why someone would be interested in the query output.

4. Using the report function in Access, design a report for the query from part 3 of this problem. Reports should be in good order, readable, and properly formatted. Print out the report. Requirements: As directed by your instructor, submit the completed database file and the printouts noted above.
