Long description for image: Figure 4. Determine Requirements (Subprocess 3.3.1) – Level 3 Process Flow
The figure is a process flow diagram consisting of activities, connectors, inputs, outputs, gateways and decisions.
This diagram depicts the Level 3 process flow for Subprocess 3.3.1 – Determine Requirements. This subprocess begins with a connector from Business Process 1.1 – Manage Planning and Budgeting, which provides an input labelled “Approved plan and budget.” Alternatively Subprocess 3.3.1 – Determine Requirements begins with an input labelled “Ad hoc requirement.” The inputs start the process flow for other operational payments and periodic payments.
The flow proceeds to a decision titled “Periodic payment?” The Yes flow results in an output labelled “Supporting documents,” which connects to two subprocesses: Subprocess 3.3.2 –Determine and Exercise Expenditure Initiation Authority and Subprocess – 3.3.3 Verify Unencumbered Balance. The NO flow for the decision titled “Periodic payment?” continues to Activity 3.3.1.1 – Identify Needs and then to a decision labelled “Is payee identified?”
The NO flow for the decision “Is payee identified?” leads to Activity 3.3.1.2 – Examine and Select Vendor before advancing with the YES flow to an output labelled “Supporting documents” and then to the connector for Subprocess 3.3.2 – Determine and Exercise Expenditure Initiation Authority and Subprocess 3.3.3 – Verify Unencumbered Balance.
