“Sales and Inventory Management System”


Introduction
System Introduction
For optimal sales and inventory management processes, you need robust
functionality for managing your logistics facilities. Support for inventory
management helps you record and track materials on the basis of both quantity and
value.

Warehouse inventory management functions cover internal warehouse movements


and storage.

Using this software we can reduce costs for warehousing, transportation, order
fulfillment, and material handling – while improving customer service.

You can significantly improve inventory turns, optimize the flow of goods, and
shorten routes within your warehouse or distribution center. Additional benefits of
inventory management include improved cash flow, visibility, and decision
making.

This software is user friendly and hence easy to use.

Employees can plan, enter, and document warehouse and internal stock
movements by managing goods receipts, goods issues, storage, picking and
packing, physical stock transfers, and transfer postings.
Problems In existing system

As we know manual system are quite tedious ,time consuming and less efficient
and accurate in comparison to the computerized system.
So following are some disadvantages of the old system:

1. Time consuming

2. Less accurate

3. Less efficient

4. Lot of paper work

5. Slow data processing

6. Not user friendly environment

7. Difficult to keep old records


Scope of Proposed System

The scope of this system is to provide user efficient working environment and
more output can be generated through this. This system provides user friendly
interface resulting in knowing each and every usability features of the system.

This system helps in tracking records so that past records can be verified through
them and one can make decisions based on the past records. This system completes
the work in a very less time resulting in less time consumption and high level of
efficiency.

This system is developed in such a way that even a naïve user can also operate the
system easily. The calculations are made very quickly and the records are directly
saved into databases and the databases can be maintained for a longer period of
time. Each record can be retrieved and can be verified for the future transactions.

Also this system provides high level of security for data leaking as only admin
people can access the database no changes can be made in it until it verifies the
user login id and password.

We also have operator login through which operator can take orders but can’t make
changes in the database. Limited access is available to the operator.
Feasibility Study

As we know each and every project needs to have a feasibility study for the
complete understandability of the project. We will consider 3 types of feasibility
study they are technical feasibility, operational feasibility and economical
feasibility.

Technical Feasibility:
This new system requires 6 fully trained people to run the system perfectly.
1 admin person to maintain database n other 5 to handle the system interface and
order making things.
As our existing system is purely manual, so we need a onetime investment of Rs 4
Lacs for the purchase of 6 computers, 5 invoice printers, a laser printer, AC and
networking etc. It requires apprx. 10 Lacks PA as a operating cost.
With the above details our system is technically feasible as after investing 14 Lacs
in a year, the company is still saving Rs 15 Lacs PA.

Operational Feasibility:
The new solution is feasible in all sense but operationally it is not. The new
system demands the expulsion of at least 15 people from the company. It creates an
environment of joblessness and fear among the employees. It can lead to an
indefinite strike in the company also. So the management must take corrective
actions prior in advance in order to start the further proceedings.

Economic Feasibility:
With the manual system the operating cost of the system is about 60 Lacks
P.A. This cost comprises salary of 25 people, stationary, building rent, electricity,
water, telephone etc. But with the new system this reoccurring cost comes out to be
about 20 Lacks P.A. Hence the new system is economically feasible.

Test Procedures and
Implementation
Introduction

Testing presents an interesting anomaly for the software engineer. During


earlier software engineering activities, the engineer attempts to build software from
an abstract concept to a tangible product. Now comes testing. The engineer creates
a series of test cases that are intended to “demolish” the software that has been
built. In fact, testing is the one step in the software process that could be viewed
(psychologically, at least) as destructive rather than constructive.

Software engineers are by their nature constructive people. Testing requires


that the developer discard preconceived notions of the “correctness” of software
just developed and overcome a conflict of interest that occurs when errors are
uncovered.

If testing is conducted successfully (according to the objectives stated


previously), it will uncover errors in the software. As a secondary benefit, testing
demonstrates that software functions appear to be working according to
specification, that behavioral and performance requirements appear to have been
met. In addition, data collected as testing is conducted provide a good indication of
software reliability and some indication of software quality as a whole. But testing
cannot show the absence of errors and defects, it can show

Only that software errors and defects are present. It is important to keep this
(rather gloomy) statement in mind as testing is being conducted.

Testing principles
Before applying methods to design effective test cases, a software engineer must
understand the basic principle that guide software testing:
All tests should be traceable to customer requirements
Tests should be planned long before testing begins
80 percent of all errors uncovered during testing will likely be traceable to
20 percent of all program components. The problem, of course, is to isolate these
suspect components and to thoroughly test them.
Testing should being “in the small” and progress toward testing “in the
large”.
Exhaustive testing is not possible
To be most effective an independent third party should conduct testing
A rich variety of test case design methods have evolved for software. These
methods provide the developer with a systematic approach to testing. More
important, methods provide a mechanism that can help to ensure the completeness
of tests and provide the highest likelihood for uncovering errors in software.

Any engineered product (and most other things) can be tested in one of
two ways:
Knowing the specified function that a product has been designed to perform,
tests can be conducted that demonstrate each function is fully operational
While at the same time searching for errors in each function; (2) knowing
the internal
Working of a product, tests can be conducted to ensure that “all gears mesh,”
that is, internal operations are performed according to specifications and all
internal components have been adequately exercised. The first test approach is
called black box testing and the second, white-box testing.
 Testing performed were:

 UNIT TESTING
 INTEGRATION TESTING
 DATABASE TESTING
 RECOVERY TESTING
 FUNCTIONALITY TESTING
 SMOKE TEST
 SANITY TEST
 COMPATIBILITY TESTING
 LOAD TESTING
 SYSTEM TESTING
 PERFORMANCE TESTING
 USER ACCEPTANCE TESTING
White box testing

Sometimes called glass-box testing is a test case design method that uses the
control structure of the procedural design to derive test cases. Using white-box
testing methods, the software engineer can derive test cases that (1) guarantee that
all independent paths within a module have been exercised at least once, (2)
exercise all logical decisions on their true and false sides, (3) execute all loops at
their boundaries and within their operational bounds, and (4) exercise internal data
structures to ensure their validity.
White-box testing of software is predicated on close examination of procedural
detail. Providing test cases that exercise specific sets of conditions and/or loops
tests logical paths through the software. The “status of the program” may be
examined at various points to determine if the expected or asserted status
corresponds to the actual status. Basis path testing is a white-box testing technique
first proposed by Tom McCabe. The basis path method enables the test case
designer to derive a logical complexity measure of a procedural design and use this
measure as a guide for defining a basis set of execution paths. Test cases derived to
exercise the basis set are guaranteed to execute every statement in the program at
least one time during testing.

In this system, the system was tested for the calculation matters were the
data provided for giving the right output or not. If wrong data was provided then
what it is throwing error or accepting.
Black box testing

Also called behavioral testing, focuses on the functional requirements of the


software. That is, black box testing enables the software engineer to derive sets of
input conditions that will fully exercise all functional requirements for a program.
Black box testing is not an alternative to white-box techniques. Rather, it is a
complementary approach that is likely to uncover a different class of error than
white-box methods. When computer software is considered, black box testing
alludes to tests that are conducted at the software interface. Although they are
designed to uncover errors, black-box tests are used to demonstrate that software
functions are operational, that input is

Properly accepted and output is correctly produced and that the integrity of
external information is maintained. A black-box test examines some fundamental
aspect of a system with a little regard for the internal logical structure of the
software. Black-box testing attempts to find errors in the following categories:
1. Incorrect or missing functions,
2. Interface errors,
3. Errors in data structures or external database access,
4. Behavior or performance errors, and
5. Initialization and termination errors. By applying back-box techniques,
we derive a set of test cases that satisfy the following criteria:
a. Test cases that reduce, by a count that is greater than one, the
number of additional test cases that must be designed to achieve reasonable testing
and
b. Test cases that tell us something about the presence or absence of
classes of errors, rather than an error associated only with the specific test at hand.
White-box testing should not, however, be dismissed as impractical. A
limited number of important logical paths can be selected and exercised. Important
data structures can be probed for validity. The attributes of both black and white
box testing can be combined to provide an approach that validates the software
interface and selectively ensures that the internal workings of the software are
correct.

Black box testing for this system was done to check the internal testing i.e,
the system is working properly in each case or no. What kind of errors are there in
database design.

USER MANUAL
Menu Explanation

Start Up screen
1. The first menu item of the System screen is transaction screen this screen is
the main screen it has all the menu items which help to take order and
maintain it in database. The 1st tab is “order entry” this screen will be
disabled initially to make an order operator has to click on order entry
button at the right hand side of the screen

Order Entry
2. Once that button is clicked the screen is activated and orderno.,oder creation
date and order status are auto generated search cust_code by clicking search
button and retrieve rest of the customer details. If the customer is new then
administrator has to add new customer into database which is only accessed
by admin person operator are not given those rights.

3. Once customer details are retrieved click calculate order value button this
this will take to the order detail screen where order no is auto generated
material code is selected and item qty is to be filled and by clicking on
calculate the total is calculated n thus the order is placed

4. To add all details in transaction screen refresh button should be clicked

5. Customer ref number is also have to be filled by operator/admin n then to go


on the next screen click on verified

Shipment Details
6. The shipment details are already auto filled by the system operator has to
provide the transporter name only

Accounts Department
7. Accounts dept is also auto filled admin has to verify all the details and make
order date according to convenience

Machine Installation
8. Next screen is machine installation here the engineer who gonna install the
machine is to be given.

Commercial Group
9. In commercial group screen all the payment details are to be filled
accordingly once customer makes the payment

10.Thus the records has been created.

Order Enquiry
11.In the next tab we can see the order status.
Admin authority

1. Handling databases is in the power of the admin person only

2. So all customer databases and material database and all master tables are to
be handled by the admin person only.

3. These screens are detailed screens so no specific description is needed for


the same.
Proposed
Enhancements
Future Scope:

The scope of the project includes that what all future enhancements can be done in
this system to make it more feasible to use

 Databases for different products range and storage can be provided.

 Multilingual support can be provided so that it can be understandable by


the person of any language.

 More graphics can be added to make it more user-friendly and


understandable.

 Manage & backup versions of documents online.


Benefits
 Manages Track sales

 Manages contacts

 Manages accounts

 Manages opportunities

 Track product issues

 Manage issue priority

 Track product features

 Manage product life cycle


Drawbacks And Limitations

1. The system is not capable of handling more than 6 users at a time.

2. Some keywords in system are difficult to understand so the admin n operator


person should understand them thoroughly to use the system accurately.

3. Graphs could have been added in order to get the records more clearly.
Conclusion

While developing the system a conscious effort has been made to create and
develop a software package, making use of available tools, techniques and
resources – that would generate a proper System
While making the system, an eye has been kept on making it as user-
friendly, as cost-effective and as flexible as possible. As such one may hope that
the system will be acceptable to any user and will adequately meet his/her needs.
As in case of any system development processes where there are a number
of shortcomings, there have been some shortcomings in the development of this
system also. The project is still under modification.
