Transaction Processing Systems

This document discusses transaction processing systems and their key components. It covers: 1) The transaction processing cycle includes data entry, transaction processing, file/database processing, document/report generation, and inquiry processing. 2) Data entry activities involve capturing data through traditional and automated methods like electronic data interchange. 3) Transaction processing can be done through batch or real-time methods, with real-time offering immediate updates.

Processing
Data Entry Activities

 Data is captured and collected by recording,


coding and editing activities
 Traditional Data Entry
– People Involved
– Get data, Edit it and batch it, key it into computer
then sort and store.
– Disadvantages : Too costly, Increases potential
errors, Too many activities, many people and
media involved.
Data Entry Activities

 Source Data Automation


– From source that generates data
– By using machine readable media
– Optical Scanning, MICR, Light Pens, Voice Input,
Touch Screen
 Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
– Complete Automation
– From start till information is got.
– For eg. Orders put up in internet and customers fill in
data that is fed into the Sales TPS and then
processed
Transaction Processing Activities

 Batch Processing
– Process
 GatherSource Data
 Record data and input
 Sort
 Update Master file

– Advantages : Efficiency, Economy, Control


– Disadvantages : Frequently out-of-date Master file
Transaction Processing Activities

 Real Time Processing


– Processing as soon as transaction gets over
 Levels of Systems
– Inquiry / Response Systems (Information Retrieval)
– Data Entry Systems (PoS)
– File Processing Systems (Collect, Convert,
Manipulate and Store (no output))
– Full Capability Systems (Eg. Indian Railways
Ticketing)
– Process Control Systems (Full Capability + Control
(uses info output to control))
Transaction Processing Activities

 RealTime Processing
 Advantages
– Immediate Updation
 Disadvantages
– Security
– Cost
File and Database Processing

 Maintenance Activities : Correct and Update


Information

Inquiry Processing
 Interrogation of Online files and database by
end users
 Eg. Getting Account Information
Document and Report Generation

 Action Documents
– Initiate actions / transactions
 Information Documents
– Relate, Confirm or Prove that transactions
occurred
 Turnaround Documents
– Returned back to the sender
Attributes of Information Quality

 Time Dimension
– Timeliness (provided when needed)
– Currency (up-to-date when provided)
– Frequency (as often as needed)
– Time Period (info about past, present and future
time periods)
Attributes of Information Quality

 Content Dimension
– Accuracy (free from errors)
– Relevance (related to needs)
– Completeness (all info is provided)
– Conciseness (info needed alone is provided)
Attributes of Information Quality

 Form Dimension
– Clarity (easy to understand form)
– Detail (in detail or summary form)
– Order (in predetermined sequence)
– Presentation (numeric, graphic, narrative)
– Media (as required [printed paper, video displays,
disks, etc.])
Information Reporting System

 Produce information products (reports and


documents) that support day-to-day decision
making
 Information Reporting Alternatives :
– Periodic Scheduled Reports
– Exception Reports (specific conditions)
– Demand Reports and Responses
Executive Information Systems

 Information Reporting Systems + Decision


Support Systems
 For Strategic Planning and Control
 Much of top management information comes
from non-computer sources
 Now computer-based EIS developed – easy
to operate and understand
Executive Information Systems

 Tailoredto the preferences of the executives


 Use of Graphics
 Get detailed information in areas of interest
to them
