Requirement
Functional Requirement
No.

Question 2

Develop an activity diagram based on the following narrative.

The purchasing department handles purchase requests from other departments in the company.

People in the company who initiate the original purchase request are the "customers" of the purchasing
department.
A case worker within the purchasing department receives that request and monitors it until it is ordered and
received.

Case workers process requests for the purchase of products under $1,500, write a purchase order, and then
send it to the approved vendor.

Purchase requests over $1,500 must first be sent out for bid from the vendor that supplies the product.

When the bids return, the case worker selects one bid. Then, he or she writes a purchase order and sends it
