Transaction Processing

The primary objective of the Transaction Processing System is to provide a central point where the financial information of all transactions can be summarized and controlled.  As an example, a participant purchases a place in a Scuba Diving class: once the Course Registration system has validated and recorded the registration information, the Transaction Processing system is called upon to record information on the payment method(s), payer’s information, due dates, General Ledger journal entries, etc.  All of the registration systems (e.g. Course and Membership) invoke the Transaction Processing to record their financial information.

The Transaction Processing may be defined as an Accounts Receivable system designed with additional specialized features meant to fulfill the unique requirements of a Registration environment.
