3. Introduction
• A Transaction Processing System (TPS) is a type of information
system that collects, stores, modifies and retrieves the data
transactions of an enterprise.
Example : airline reservation systems, electronic transfer of funds, bank
account processing systems.
• Designed to process routine business transactions
• Seeks time and cost efficiency by automating repetitive operations
in large volumes.
4. Objectives of TPS
Process data generated by and about
transactions.
• Maintain a high degree of accuracy.
• Ensure data information integrity and
accuracy.
• Produce timely documents and reports.
• Increase labour efficiency.
• Help provide increased and enhanced
efficiency.
• To build and maintain customer loyalty.
5. Components of a Transaction System
• The User of the information system is the person belonging
to the organization that owns the transaction system.
• Participants are the people who conduct the information
processing.
• People from the environment become participants of the
system as they directly enter transactions and perform
validation.
6. Types of TPS
•
•
•
1. Batch processing systems :
Batch processing is where the information is collected and
stored as a batch but not processed immediately.
Batch processing is useful for enterprises that need to process
large amounts of data using limited resources.
Example: Payment by cheque, Credit card transactions, etc.
7. 2. On-line transaction processing (OLTP) :
• A system whereby each transaction is processed
immediately,
without the delay of accumulating transactions into a batch.
Examples :
•
Mostly in Online shopping
U s e s PCI cards (Payment Card Industry): PayPal or World Pay,
We Pay, e-Way, ICEPAY,ATM’s.
9. 3. On-Line Entry with Delayed Processing
• This type of transaction is a compromise between the batch
and on-line processing.
• Orders or transactions are entered into the computer system
when they occur, but they are not processed immediately.
• Example: A typical mail order system in which ordersare
accumulated and then it is forwarded to a warehouse for
shipment
10. Transaction Processing Cycle
Business data goes through a transaction processing cycle that
includes:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Data Collection
Data Editing
Data Correction
Data Manipulation
Data Storage
Document Production
11. • Data Collection
– The process of capturing and gathering all data necessary to
complete transactions is called data collection.
– It can be manual such as completing a purchase order by hand. It can
also be automated via special input device such as scanners and
terminals.
• Data Editing
– An important step in processing data is to check for validity and
completeness of data. Controls must be placed in the data-entry form.
– For example, quantity and cost must be numeric and names must be
alphabetic.
12. • Data Correction
– A data that is not entered properly needs to be entered correctly.
– Data correction involves reentering incorrect data in the data entry
point.
– For example, a UPC code not found in the retail store checkout, is
given a special code to complete the transaction for an item.
• Data Manipulation
– The process of performing calculations and other data
transformations is termed data manipulation.
– Examples are, sorting data, summarizing data, finding price of five
items, calculating employee weekly pay, and so on.
13. • Data Storage
Document Production
– TPSs produce important business documents such
as sales receipts, order entry list, customer list,
invoices, purchase orders, inventory on- hand
report, paychecks, and so on.
– Documents can be hard copy paper report or
displayed on computer screen.
– Involves updating one or more database tables or files with new
transactions.
– For example, inserting new customer information, updating customer
demographics, updating inventory transactions, creating new student
registration, and so on.
•
15. • Order Processing Systems : Order processing systems
include order entry, sales configuration, shipment
planning, shipment execution, inventory control,
invoicing, customer interaction, and routing and
scheduling.
• Purchasing System : The purchasing transaction
processing system is used when an item (such as a chair
or software) is ordered to a supplier from a company. It
includes inventory control, purchase order processing,
receiving, and accounts payable.
• Accounting Systems : An accounting system includes
budget, accounts receivable, payroll, asset management,
general ledger
