Question

Draw an activity diagram to represent the Purchasing process described below.

The Purchasing department of a company handles purchase requests from other departments in the company.

Each request is handled by a case worker within the Purchasing department.

The case worker receives a request and monitors it until a purchase order is made or until the request is reported to the manager of the department.

For the purchase of products with the total cost under $2000, the case worker writes a purchase order, and sends it to one of the approved vendors.

For purchase requests over $2000, the case worker must first send them out for bids from several vendors that supply the product. After one week, if there are at least four bids returned, the case worker selects one bid, writes a purchase order, and sends it to the vendor. Otherwise, the case worker reports the request to the manager.
