PROCESSING REQUIREMENTS

There are three major functions to be carried out. It may be best practice to handle these in three or four separate programs,

Inventory Master File and the Suppliers file must be converted to Indexed Sequential Files. (Refer to File Conversion). The Suppliers File and Inventory Master File are described below (Input Records) . Both of these files required for processing will be supplied.

Once the Inventory Master File has been converted to an Indexed Sequential file it must be updated with the provided transactions in an online basis. (Refer to Indexed Master File Update).
