Explanation of Solution

Transaction Process:

Transaction process system helps a business to process all the transactions as the required information is gathered, modified and recovered in this system. Expenditure cycle, conversion cycle and revenue cycle are the sub-part of the transaction process.

The three transaction cycles that exist in a business are as follows:

  • Expenditure cycle: An expenditure cycle is related to the decisions of buying the goods and services by the consumers.
  • Conversion cycle: A conversion cycle is a metric performance that measures the number of days taken by the company to convert the investment into inventory.
  • Revenue cycle: In revenue cycle, businesses record all the transactions from the sale to the receipt of payment.
