Overview of Transaction Processing & ERP Systems
- Transaction processing is an agreement between two parties to exchange goods or services. It involves a measurable economic event.
- Each transaction has details like seller, buyer, goods exchanged, and monetary value.
- The core of a transaction is data.
- Transaction processing involves the following steps: taking the underlying business data; storing the data; transforming the data; creating relevant information; and supporting business operations.
Learning Objectives
- Transaction processing cycle: Data processing, its role in organizing business activities, and providing information to users.
- Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems: The role of ERP systems in organizations, their advantages and disadvantages.
Transaction Processing: What is Transaction Processing?
- Transaction processing involves taking business data, storing it, transforming it, and creating meaningful information.
- This process aims to support business operations.
Transaction Processing: Data Processing Cycle - Data Storage
- These systems use computer-based files and databases to store data during the transaction cycle.

Transaction Processing: Data Processing Cycle - Data Processing
- In data processing, there are four main activities: create, read, update, and delete.
Transaction Processing: Data Storage (Audit Trails)
- Audit trails help trace a transaction from its origin to its final output. This is important for tracing accuracy and security.
- Audit trails provide a historical record of events and ensure validity of information.
Transaction Processing: Data Processing Cycle - Traditional Accounting System (AIS)
- Traditional Accounting systems (AIS) focus only on financial accounting.
- They track sales, purchases, and cash transactions.
Transaction Processing: Data Processing Cycle - ERP Systems
- ERP systems integrate all organizational aspects, including production, payroll, sales, purchasing, and financials.
- They integrate various departments into a single system, improving data integration.
- This eliminates data redundancy and minimizes data discrepancies.
Traditional AIS vs. ERP Systems
- Traditional AIS uses multiple systems, with data stored across multiple places.
- ERP systems use a single system for recording data. This eliminates data redundancy and streamlines data integration, but may have cost/time implementation issues.
