Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the OE/S (Order Entry/Sales) system, shipments are indeed used to generate sales invoices. This can be represented in an entity-relationship (E-R) diagram with a relationship between the SHIPMENTS entity and the SALES_INVOICES entity, where SHIPMENTS is the parent entity and SALES_INVOICES is the child entity. This relationship can be described using the verb phrase "generates" or "creates", indicating that one or more shipments result in the creation of one or more sales invoices.
