The correct answer is: B. inventory subsystem
The order entry subsystem creates a file of order records that are input to the inventory subsystem. The inventory subsystem is responsible for managing the organization’s inventory levels. It does this by tracking the quantity of each item in inventory, the cost of each item, and the reorder point for each item. When an order is received, the inventory subsystem checks to see if the items are in stock. If they are, the order is filled and shipped. If they are not, the order is placed on backorder and the inventory subsystem will notify the production department to produce the items.
The other options are incorrect because they do not describe the function of the order entry subsystem. The production subsystem is responsible for producing the organization’s products. The control subsystem is responsible for monitoring and controlling the organization’s operations. The quality subsystem is responsible for ensuring that the organization’s products meet the required quality standards.
