CHAPTER 1
1. Introduction
Accounting Information System (AIS) plays a crucial role in supporting various business
cycles within a company. In this context, we will focus on four primary cycles that form the
foundation of AIS: the Revenue Cycle, Expenditure Cycle, Production Cycle, and Human
Resources Management/Payroll Cycle. Through the implementation of AIS, companies can
optimize their business processes, improve efficiency, and provide reliable financial
information for decision-making.
One widely recognized company that has successfully integrated AIS into its operations is
PT Astra Otoparts Tbk. PT Astra Otoparts Tbk is a part of the Astra International Group,
committed to providing high-quality spare parts and automotive components for both domestic
and international markets.
In the Revenue Cycle, PT Astra Otoparts Tbk is involved in the sales of spare parts and
automotive components. The company performs four main activities in the Revenue Cycle:
sales order entry, shipping, billing, and cash collections. The AIS in this company is designed
to support each step in this cycle, from entering sales orders to managing cash receipts.
Next, in the Expenditure Cycle, PT Astra Otoparts Tbk engages in activities related to the
procurement of raw materials, finished goods, supplies, and services. This cycle includes four
main activities: ordering materials, receiving materials, approving supplier invoices, and cash
disbursements. The AIS in the company is designed to ensure the smooth flow of each step in
the expenditure cycle, from placing orders to making payments to suppliers.
The Production Cycle at PT Astra Otoparts Tbk is associated with the manufacturing of
automotive products. Information from the Revenue Cycle, such as customer orders and sales
forecast, forms the basis for production and inventory planning. The Production Cycle also
shares information about finished goods with the Revenue Cycle and provides information
about raw material needs to the Expenditure Cycle.
Lastly, in the Human Resources Management/Payroll Cycle, PT Astra Otoparts Tbk
manages various human resource activities, including recruiting, hiring, training, job
assignment, compensation (payroll), performance evaluation, and employee discharge. The
AIS integrates both payroll and human resource management activities to support effective
workforce management.
For general ledger updates and reporting, PT Astra Otoparts Tbk relies on AIS to collect
and organize data from various sources, including accounting cycle subsystems, treasurer
activities, budget department inputs, and adjusting entries made by the controller. The General
Ledger and Reporting System play a central role in producing financial statements and internal
management reports.
Through this Essay, we will explore how PT Astra Otoparts Tbk integrates AIS into its
operations, optimizes its four business cycles, and addresses challenges and opportunities in
the evolving business landscape.

2.1.1. Sales Order Entry (1.0)
The sales order entry process includes three stages. The third stage is
taking orders from customers, checking, and approving customer credit, and
checking inventory availability. In addition, the order entry process also
includes related activities that may be handled by the sales orders department or
by a separate department for customer service, namely answering customer
questions.

d. Respond to Customer Inquiries (1.4)
Customers contact the PT Astra Otoparts customer service team to obtain
further information about product features, prices, or item availability. When
customers contact PT Astra Otoparts with questions regarding products,
availability, or sales terms, the customer service team will be involved in
providing adequate answers. Customer requests can come before or after
order creation, creating unique dynamics in a company's revenue cycle.
5
2.1.3. Billing (3.0)
The third basic activity of the revenue cycle involves billing customers and
maintaining accounts receivable data. Billing and updating accounts receivable
are separate processes and are both performed by two separate functions within
the accounting department.
a. Invoicing (3.1)
The billing process of PT Astra Otoparts Tbk begins by entering information from
sales order entry and shipping into the system. A sales invoice is created with the
amount to be paid by the customer.
b. Updates Accounts Receivable (3.2)
The accounts receivable function, under the controller, maintains accounts
receivable data. PT Astra Otoparts Tbk debits customer accounts based on sales
invoice information and credits them when payment is received.

ask him to return one of the copies along with payment. An alternative solution is to
ask the correspondence officer to prepare a remittance list, which is a document that
identifies the names and amounts of all customer remittances and send this list to the
accounts receivable department. Another way to protect remittances from customers is
to enter into a lockbox agreement with a bank. Lockbox is the postal address that
customers go to when they send their money. The bank involved took the check from
the post office box and deposited it into the company's account. The bank then sends a
remittance notice, an electronic list of all remittances, and a photocopy of all checks to
the company.
• PT Astra Otoparts accepts payments from customers via various methods, such as
bank transfer, check or credit card.
• The accounts receivable function records remittances and identifies their sources.
Alternatively, companies can use lockboxes with banks to receive and record
payments more efficiently.

2.2.1. Ordering (1.0)
The first major business activity in the expenditure cycle is ordering inventory,
supplies, or services. When ordering, you must first decide what to buy, when,
and for how much, and then choose which supplier to buy from.
8
2.2.2. Receiving (2.0)
The receiving department oversees accepting supplier supplies. It is
often responsible to the warehouse manager, who reports to the vice president
of manufacturing. The inventory stores department, which answers to the
warehouse manager, oversees storing the items. To update inventory records,
information about the receipt of requested products must be conveyed to the
inventory control function.
9
2.2.4. Cash Disbursement (4.0)
The cash disbursement system handles the payment of buying system
obligations. The primary goal of this system is to ensure that only legitimate
creditors are paid and that the amounts paid are timely and proper. When the
system makes early payments, the company foregoes interest income on the
funds. However, if obligations are not met on time, the company may forfeit
purchasing discounts or ruin its credit status. Net cash flow from operating
activities was Rp708 billion in 2022, down from Rp911.7 billion in 2021,
reflecting higher payments to suppliers as sales grew. The Group has a capital
commitment of Rp72.5 billion as of December 31, 2022 (2021: Rp45.8 billion).
10
2.3.1. Product Design (1.0)
The goal of this activity is to design a product that meets demands in
terms of quality, durability, and function, and simultaneously minimizes
production costs. Some of these criteria conflict with each other, making
product design a challenging task.
PT Astra Otoparts Tbk emphasizes product design that meets the
standards of quality, durability, and function desired by customers. Product
design is carried out by minimizing production costs to achieve efficiency.
2.3.2. Planning and Scheduling (2.0)
The goal of this activity is to develop a production plan that is efficient
enough to fulfil existing orders and anticipate short-term demand without
creating excess inventory of finished goods.
This planning activity aims to develop efficient production plans, fulfill
existing orders, and anticipate short-term demand without creating excess
inventory of finished goods. PT Astra Otoparts Tbk applies production resource
planning methods and a just-in-time system to minimize inventory.
11
The production cycle at PT Astra Otoparts Tbk is carried out by
prioritizing efficiency, product quality and good cost management. By using
technology and a careful approach in every production cycle activity, the
company can maintain its competitiveness in the automotive market.
12
2.4.1. Payroll Cycle
13
d. Disburse Payroll (4.0)
The next step is disbursement of salaries to employees. Most employees
receive their pay via check or direct deposit into their personal bank account.
After the payroll checks are prepared, the accounts department discusses
and approves the payroll. Disbursement vouchers are prepared to authorize
the transfer of funds from the company's general checking account to the
payroll bank account. After review, the cashier prepares and signs the check
or initiates an electronic funds transfer.
e. Disburse Taxes and Misc. Deductions (5.0)
The final activity in the payroll cycle is calculating and transferring payroll
taxes and employee benefits to the appropriate entity. PT Astra Otoparts Tbk
ensures payment of social taxes and contributions to unemployment
insurance in accordance with the requirements of federal and state laws. In
addition to mandatory payments, the company is also responsible for
properly calculating and transferring other funds deducted from an
employee's salary, such as payments to the court for child support or health
insurance payments.

2.5.1. Update General Ledger (1.0)
The first activity in the general ledger system (circle 1.0) is general
ledger updating. Updating entails posting journal entries from two different
sources:
a. Subsystems of accounting. The general ledger could theoretically be
updated for each transaction. In practice, the various accounting
subsystems typically update the general ledger through summary journal
entries that represent the results of all transactions that occurred during a
given period (day, week, or month).
b. The treasurer. The treasurer's office provides information for journal
entries to update the general ledger for nonroutine transactions such as debt
issuance or retirement, investment securities purchase or sale, or treasury
stock acquisition.
Every financial transaction, such as the sale of auto parts or the purchase
of raw materials, is meticulously recorded in a daily journal. Transaction date,
transaction type, and transaction value are all recorded. The daily journal data
is then posted to the General Ledger, which is a general ledger that keeps track
of all the company's financial accounts. The posting process updates the balance
of each account in the Chart of Accounts. This. If spare parts are sold, the update
entry will record the revenue and reduce the amount of inventory or related
assets.
2.5.2. Post Adjusting Entries (2.0)
The posting of various adjusting entries (circle 2.0) is the second activity
in the general ledger system. After the initial trial balance has been prepared,
adjusting entries are generated by the controller's office. Adjusting entries are
divided into five categories:
a. Accruals are entries made at the end of an accounting period to reflect events
that occurred but for which no cash was received or disbursed.
b. Deferrals are entries made at the end of an accounting period to reflect the
exchange of cash before the related event occurs.
c. Estimates are entries that reflect a portion of expenses that are expected to
occur over a period.
d. Revaluations are entries made to reflect either a difference between an
asset's actual and recorded value or a change in accounting principle.
e. Corrections are entries made to offset the effects of general ledger errors.
Adjustments are made at the end of an accounting period to account for
changes in asset value, depreciation, amortization, and other elements that may
not have been recorded accurately during the period. Adjusting entries include
changes in accrued revenue, accrued expenses, and other adjustments to ensure
financial statements are accurate. An adjusting entry is recorded, for example, if
it is necessary to adjust the depreciation value of spare parts or to reconcile
receivables.
15
2.5.3. Prepare Financial Statements (3.0)
Preparing financial statements (circle 3.0) is the third activity in the
general ledger and reporting system. Following the adjustment entry, PT Astra
Otoparts Tbk performs a termination process to convert the temporary account
balance to a permanent account. It marks the end of the accounting period and
the beginning of the process of preparing financial statements. PT Astra
Otoparts Tbk prepares financial reports such as the balance sheet, profit and loss
report, cash flow report, and equity report based on the adjusted final balance.
This report provides an in-depth analysis of the company's financial
performance and position.
2.5.4. Produce Managerial Reports (4.0)
The general ledger and reporting system's final activity (circle 4.0 in) is
to generate various managerial reports, including budgets. Financial reports
may be subjected to an internal audit by the company's internal audit team.
External parties can also audit reports to ensure compliance with accounting
standards and transparency. After the financial reports have been audited and
verified, PT Astra Otoparts Tbk will be able to publish and distribute them to
stakeholders such as shareholders, regulators, and the public.
