Supplier Accounts Case Study

[jimmy321go]

Could anyone help me do this question as I am new to database?




Our company JKL Services Ltd. needs to keep track of its supplier accounts, and has initiated a MS-ACCESS database project to keep details of suppliers, the invoices we receive from them and the payments we have sent them. Each supplier may have sent us zero or more invoices and each invoice may have zero or more payments, each payment being allocated to one invoice (i.e. there is a 1:N relationship between invoices and payments).

Database design

1. Create a suitable database design including appropriate tables, fields, data types, keys, relationships and constraints. Use AutoNumber primary key fields where appropriate. Among the data we need to store about suppliers is the credit limit (maximum amount we can owe) and balance (amount we actually owe). Each invoice and payment should have a unique identifier, be dated in the range January to March 2012 and of course include the amount. Enforce referential integrity and cascade update and delete as appropriate. You might have to modify your database design slightly in light of the questions below.
