Chapter 2 Introduction
2.1 Existing system and challenges
Importance of sales management is critical for any commercial organization. Expanding business is not possible without increasing sales volumes, and effective sales management goal is to organize sales team work in such a manner that ensures a growing flow of regular customers and increasing amount of sales. Previously the task of maintaining the sales related records were handled by assistants and clerks using traditional stationary or workbooks. The work was tedious and was not centralized; every department had its own records. Later some software were available which helped in management, but still the problem of handling large amount of data and actual centralization was not overcome. With the up gradation of computer technology the old system were not able to change with increased needs.

2.2 Proposed system and process explanation

The proposed system is developed using the .NET programming. The software developed is set of applications which can be installed in the clients system. All the applications although are at terminals but works on one large database. The database and applications are compatible to each other by one of the component of .NET framework, which is ADO.NET. This whole framework support allows multiple users to manipulate the centralised database from different terminals. And this is the actual requirement of proposed system.

2.3 Advantages of proposed system over existing system

No software can change the actual working of a system. The proposed system is just few steps ahead of existing system. This sales management system is developed using the latest technology of .NET Framework (from Microsoft). Merits of .NET are well known. The following are the advantages of using .NET technology:

Faster applications No need of third party tool Memory leak and crash protection Multiple language support (at both back & front end) Powerful graphical user controls Easy Deployment

Apart from easy user interface and execution, all these features of .NET framework technology make the developed software better, more robust & secure, faster, easily deployable, etc.

Chapter 3 System requirement analysis and specifications

3.1 Introduction
Sales management system is software for maintaining the sales of any enterprises, involved in sales of products manufactured by itself and their delivery. The system is developed in C# programming language and SQL server is used of storing the data. The system requires .NET frame work as its running environment at each terminal and SQL server data analyser at server.

3.2 Languages Employed

(i) C# .NETPlatform for the development and management of application (ii) SQL and ADO.NET Query For creating and connecting the database with the application forms.

3.3 Software Packages

(i) Microsoft Visual Studio.NET 2005 (ii) SQL Server 2000: for creation of the database

3.4 Operating System Used

Windows XP RAM: 512 MB Hard Disk: Greater than 10 GB LAN connected systems

3.5 C# .NET
C# .NET Framework This project has an extensive use of various .NET based technologies. These technologies seek their advantage in terms of scalability, performance, and reliability. The .NET framework It stands for .NET framework, a set of objects and blueprints from Microsoft for building applications. The .NET framework provides the underlining functionality of C#.NET. All applications developed under the .NET framework have certain key features that ensure compatibility, security and stability. Common Language Runtime (CLR) is the environment which manages the execution of code and ensures compatibility, security and stability. When you want to run your program, the Common Language Runtime takes over and compiles the code again into the computers native language. This way MSIL can go to any type of computer. The CLR can speak many computer languages and does all the compiling for you. Once you compile your applications, you can run it on any other computer. Traditional method

What is C#.NET? C# is an object-oriented programming language developed by Microsoft as part of the .NET initiative and later approved as a standard by ECMA (ECMA-334) and ISO (ISO/IEC 23270). C# language has an object-oriented syntax based on C++ and includes influences from aspects of several other programming languages with a particular emphasis on simplification. Following are the features of C#: World-Class Tool Support. Power and Flexibility. Simplicity. Manageability. Scalability and Availability. Customizability and Extensibility. Security.

3.6 SQL
Commonly expanded to Structured Query Language see History for the term's derivation, is the most popular computer language used to create, modify, retrieve and manipulate data from relational database management systems. The language has evolved beyond its original purpose to support object-relational database management systems. It is an ANSI/ISO standard. Data Retrieval The most frequently used operation in transactional databases is the data retrieval operation. When restricted to data retrieval commands, SQL acts as a functional language. SELECT is used to retrieve zero or more rows from one or more tables in a database. In most applications, SELECT is the most commonly used DML command. In specifying a SELECT query, the user specifies a description of the desired result set, but they do not specify what physical operations must be executed to produce that result set. Commonly available keywords related to SELECT include:

11

FROM is used to indicate from which tables the data is to be taken, as well as how the tables join to each other. WHERE is used to identify which rows to be retrieved, or applied to GROUP BY. WHERE is evaluated before the GROUP BY. GROUP BY is used to combine rows with related values into elements of a smaller set of rows.

Data Manipulation First there are the standard Data Manipulation Language (DML) elements. DML is the subset of the language used to add, update and delete data. INSERT is used to add zero or more rows (formally tuples) to an existing table. UPDATE is used to modify the values of a set of existing table rows. MERGE is used to combine the data of multiple tables. It is something of a combination of the INSERT and UPDATE elements. It is defined in the SQL:2003 standard; prior to that, some databases provided similar functionality via different syntax, sometimes called an "upsert". TRUNCATE deletes all data from a table (non-standard, but common SQL command). DELETE removes zero or more existing rows from a table. Example: INSERT INTO my_table (field1, field2, field3) VALUES ('test', 'N', NULL); UPDATE my_table SET field1 = 'updated value' WHERE field2 = 'N'; DELETE FROM my_table WHERE field2 = 'N';

Data Definition The second group of keywords is the Data Definition Language (DDL). DDL allows the user to define new tables and associated elements. Most commercial SQL databases have proprietary extensions in their DDL, which allow control over nonstandard features of the database system. The most basic items of DDL are the CREATE and DROP commands. CREATE causes an object (a table, for example) to be created within the database. DROP causes an existing object within the database to be deleted, usually irretrievably. 12

4.1 Introduction
4.1.1 Purpose This specification document describes the capabilities that will be provided by the application. It also states the various required constraints by which the system will abide. 4.1.2 Scope The application once functional will give the users a platform to manage a companys sales system, from production of product to its delivery to its customer. 4.1.3 Overview The rest of this document describes the various system requirements, interfaces, features and functionalities in detail.

4.2 Overall Description

User can run application at any time to get data about any of its customers, or status of the order. Initially the user from different terminals will enter the data about the customer, order and invoice and delivery status. This data will be stored at a centralized data base which is accessible by all the respective applications. The set of aaplications later can use that data for further analysis of sales of that company. 4.2.1 Hardware Interface I. II.

Order Received From Customer

First of all, our software will receive an order from the customer which will further be entered into the system by COPG (Central Order Processing Group). Customer can order any one or more products manufactured by the company.

Order entry into the system and verification by COPG

The order entered by the customer will be entered into the system by Central Order Processing Group (COPG). This order will further be verified by COPG in commercial terms and any mismatch in the order will be reported.

Order cleared by COPG

The order entered and verified by the COPG will then be cleared by the same so that the process of development may start.

Scheduling of order by PPC

Once the order is cleared by the COPG, it will then be passed over to PPC (Production Planning Group). PPC will look for the availability of resources and further it will look for the delivery schedule of the product.

Shipment of material by Shipment Department (SD)

Shipment Department will ship the products to the customers based on the schedule made by the PPC.

Invoice Generation / Printing by Accounts Department (AD)

An estimated invoice will then be generated by the Accounts Department for the products delivered to the customer. Also the shipment charges will be included into the invoice generated by AD.

20

Payment received by Commercial Department (CD)

After all the products have been delivered to the customer, the commercial department will look for the payments to be received from the customer based on the invoice generated by the AD.

Chapter 5 Software Design

5.1 Introduction 5.1.1 Purpose
Sales management software is an application based solution for sales company to share the sales info like Customer details, order status, invoice generation, delivery status etc. which can be accessed by user on connected terminal.

5.1.2 Scope
The application once functional will give the users a platform to manage a companys sales system, from production of product to its delivery to its customer.

5.1.3 Acronyms
IIS Microsoft Internet Information Services ( IIS; sometimes, erroneously called Server or System) is a set of Internet-based services for servers using Microsoft Windows. The servers currently include FTP, SMTP, NNTP and HTTP/HTTPS * The IIS version 5.0 was used for this project. DBMS a database management system ( DBMS ) is a system, usually automated and computerized, for the management of any collection of Compatible, and ideally normalized data. SQL ODBC Structured Query Language Open Database Connectivity

22

5.2 Interface Description

Communication For the communication between the User and the database, a form is used. The information is retrieved from the user and automatically saved in the database. Using ADO.net to submit form causes the application to send all form data in the body of the ADO.net command to the server where the data can be read using the Request. SQL client in ADO.net provides an interface that allows applications to access data from different data sources, such as dedicated databases or text files. SQL client in ADO.net is an open, vendor-neutral way to uniformly access data stored in different formats and databases. 5.3 Detailed Design

5.3.1) Module detailed design

C# 2005 C# 2005 is the next iteration of C# .NET, Microsoft having decided to drop the .NET portion of the title. For this release, Microsoft added many features, including: Edit and continue-probably the biggest missing feature from C# .NET ,allowing the modification of code and immediate resumption of execution Design-time express evaluation My pseudo-namespace (overview, details), which provides: Easy access to certain areas of the .NET Framework that otherwise require significant code to access The Using keyword, simplifying the use of objects that require the dispose pattern to free resources Just My Code, which hides boilerplate code written by the Visual Studio .NET IDE Data source binding, easing database client/server development

The above functions (particularly My) are intended to reinforce Visual Basic .NETs focus as a rapid application development platform and further differentiate it from C#. Visual Basic 2005 23

introduced features meant to fill in the gaps between itself and other more powerful .NET languages.

Chapter 7 Testing
Many people understand many definitions of testing 1. Testing is the process of demonstrating that errors are not present. 2. The purpose of testing is to show that a program performs its intended functions correctly. 3. Testing is the process of establishing confidence that a program does what it is supposed to do. A more appropriate definition is: TESTING IS THE PROCESS OF EXECUTING A PROGRAM WITH THE INTENT OF FINDING ERRORS

WHY SHOULD WE TEST??

Although software testing is itself an expensive activity, yet launching of software without testing may lead to cost potentially much higher than that of testing, specially in systems where human safety is involved. No software would ever be released by its creators if they were asked to certify that it was totally free of all errors. Testing therefore continues to the point where it is considered that the costs of the testing processes significantly outweigh the returns.

WHO SHOULD DO THE TESTING??

The testing requires the developers to find errors from their software. Many organizations have made a distinction between development and testing phase by making different people responsible for each phase. Most of the times, testing persons are different from the development persons for the overall benefit of the system.

33

WHAT SHOULD WE TEST??

We should test the programs responses to every possible input. It means, we should test for all valid and invalid inputs. We may like to test those areas where probability of getting a fault is maximum.

What is Verification and Validation??

VERIFICATION: CHECKING THE SOFTWARE WITH RESPECT TO SPECIFICATIONS. VALIDATION: CHECKING THE SOFTWARE WITH RESPECT TO CUSTOMERS EXPECTATIONS.

TYPES OF TESTING:
1). ACCEPTANCE TESTING: - This term is used when the software is developed for a specific customer. The tests are conducted by the end user/customer and may range from adhoc tests to well planned systematic series of tests. Acceptance testing may be conducted for few weeks or months. 2) ALPHA AND BETA TESTING:-The terms alpha and beta testing are used when the

software is developed as a product for anonymous customers.

The alpha tests are conducted at the developers site by a customer. These tests are conducted in a controlled environment. The beta tests are conducted by the customers/end users at their sites. Unlike alpha testing developer id not present here. Beta testing is conducted in a real environment that cannot be controlled by the developer. 3) FUNCTIONAL TESTING: - what we are looking for is a set of thought processes that allows us to select a set of data more intelligently for testing. One way to examine this issue is to explore a strategy where testing is based on functionality of the program and is known as 34

functional testing. Thus functional testing refers to testing, which involves only observation of the output for certain input values. Functional testing is also referred to as black box testing in which contents of the black box are not known. Functionality of the black box is understood completely in terms of its inputs and outputs. 4) STRUCTURAL TESTING:-A complementary approach to functional testing is called structural/white box testing. It permits us to examine the internal structure of the program. We require structural testing because there might be parts of the code, which are not fully exercised by the functional tests.

35

Chapter 8 Conclusion

The Application for sales management system for any enterprise has been made. The client using the application will be able to manage, track and analyze the production and delivery of its product. This will help in Improved Sales, therefore faster growth of enterprise.

36

Chapter 9 Future Scope

In this word of e-commerce, such an application with interactive user interface will surely help the company in increasing its production, sales and its delivery. Currently the system is developed only for LAN connected systems, later this can be developed for systems connected through internet. This will require the more security features.

Similar systems for clients customer if developed and enabled with integration to this system will help in supplier and customer communication and transparency will increase between them.
