Preliminary User/System Specifications

User Requirement

We are to design an Enterprise Resources Planning (ERP) that links two standalone systems, Sales and Invoicing System and Warehouse Management System for biomedical equipment company called Nameless Private Limited. Both systems are linked through a common database.

The Sales and Invoicing System must be able to generate Sales Quotation which would be converted into a PDF file thus enabling the user to print or email it to the client. The system must also convert the Sales Quotation to Sales Order upon receiving the Purchase Order from the client. Delivery Order and Invoice could be generated and printed out for softcopy.

The Warehouse Management System is able to provide the location of the item stored. It also provides status and updates on incoming and outgoing warehouse items thus checking for the stocks availability.


Software Specifications

This project is to be completed within 3 to 4 months. Due to time limitation and since developers understood the requirements well we have decided to use the Rapid Application Development (RAD) Model. We are able to use similar product in market for reference. Customer would prefer us to use ASP.NET 2.0, however, is open to options as long as it is web-based and stress on user-friendliness. Therefore, we have decided to use ASP.NET 2.0 and MSSQL 2005 database. Customer does not want us to compile the source code as there would be an IT team from their company which would manage and maintain the system.
