Business Process and Business Rules Modeling

As part of a travel-expense reimbursement management system, the following business process is defined:

After an expense report is received, a new account must be created if the employee does not already have one. The reports are then reviewed.

Amounts below $200 are approved automatically, whereas amounts equal to or greater than $200 must be approved by the supervisor.

If the request is rejected, the employee is notified. The employee is reimbursed through payment to his or her bank account.

If the request is not processed within 7 days, the employee receives an “ongoing” email. If the request is not completed within 30 days, the process is stopped and the employee receives a cancellation email asking her or him to resubmit the refund request.

The following BPMN model has been submitted for review.

Which of the following comments is MOST likely to have been made on this BPMN model?

  • A After “Advise Employee to Start Again” the low should go to an “end” event
  • B The second ting event should be “30 days” instead of “23 days”
  • C This BPMN model is correct, so there should not be any review comments
  • D The “Supervisor Review” activity should be positioned after the “Send for Payment” activity
Explanation

A cancellation notification issued because the request was not completed within the permitted processing time must be followed by process termination. Continuing from that notification to the reimbursement activity would pay a request that has been stopped and must instead be resubmitted.
