FreshMart operates multiple supermarkets across Queensland and New South Wales. To maintain smooth store operations, FreshMart relies on an effective purchasing and supplier payment process to ensure goods are ordered, delivered, received, and paid for on time. The Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Alex Chen, together with the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Priya Kapoor, requested a review of the Business Process Modelling and Notation (BPMN) of the Purchases and Payments process.

For processes that involve time events, what matters most is that you demonstrate a clear understanding of how these events work.

Jake then checks the expiry date of the milk and finds no issues. After this, he accepts the delivery, records the quantity, and completes the delivery report in the system. Finally, he updates the inventory records and places the milk in the warehouse.
