Any attempt at any level cannot be satisfactorily completed without the support and guidance of learned people. We would like to express our immense gratitude to all KEC teachers on computer programming for their constant support and motivation that has encouraged us to come up with this project.

We are also thankful to all our colleagues of electronics section A who have rendered their whole hearted support at all times for the successful completion of this project.

Abstract

The project as the name suggests is based on the departmental store management system. A departmental store consist commodities of daily human use, so they need to be managed in various ways. This project focuses on the billing management of a departmental store and management from the manager’s desk. When a customer buys some commodities he/she can have instant bill by using this program.

For this purpose we started our project from the basic steps of programming. We constructed algorithms and made plans for the program. For the coding purpose C-programming language was used. So for the project our main tool was the C-programming language.

The result we got from the completion of the project was a well and efficient program for the billing management in a departmental store. However there are some limitations, overall the project is successful for what it aims to fulfill.

Objectives

The main objectives of this project are listed as follows:

Proper management of selling items in departmental store. Can be useful for both manager and cashier. Good security of information for which password facilities are provided. Maximum providence of modification and search options. User friendly messages in the way for easy application of program.

Introduction

The project is based on the management and billing process in departmental store. This program can be simply used by a departmental store manager and cashier. The program mainly focuses on manipulation of various functions by a cashier and manager on the basis of goods selected by the costumer. The manager can add goods, change the rates, view the total sales of the day etc. On the other hand a cashier can work out with bills of the goods as per customers’ choice.

For the coding process the ANSI Standard C Programming Language is used. The various efficient aspects such as functions, arrays, structures, file operations etc. are used.

Requirements

The requirements for the program to run or for the code to be in effect are basic and can be found on any simple computer. However some of the essential hardware and software requirements are described as follows:

Hardware:

The hardware required for the program to run is same as the hardware that can be found on simple personal computer (Desktop, Laptop, etc.).So there is no such special hardware requirement for the implementation of this project.

Software:

As the C-programming language is used for the coding purpose, the main software required is also the same. The installation of this software is not much complicated and it does not occupy much space. The system requirement for the program to run is also basic and not hard to be found.

Platform:

C-program supports platform such as windows 98, Xp, 2000, etc. However it may not support some of the latest operating systems.

Project Discussion

As we know the project is based on the departmental management system and focuses on the billing system. The functions used in the program or the function of the program also intends in parallel direction. The main components of the program are to start as a manager or cashier and verification, goods entry and display, bill display, total sales display, etc. These components are described as follows along with their working process:

Start as a manager or cashier and verification:

The program supports two modes namely manager mode and cashier mode. At the start of the program it is asked to login as existing user or new user. The new user can be in manager mode or in cashier mode. For the new user to be in manager mode should enter a master password as manager have got some secret information which cannot be disclosed among other members. Each member can also have their own passwords for excess. When a user enters correct username and password than the “welcome” message is displayed, otherwise the user is again asked to enter the username and password correctly.

Manager mode:

Manager is the main person who manages the purchase and sales of goods in a departmental store. So, a manager mode should have various aspects such as adding to good list, editing, and display of good list, to view the total sales of a day and to delete a good. These all aspects are included in the program under the manager mode.

For the entry of new goods a manager should select the option “add to good list”. Then he is asked the item code of the good that is to be added. He is also requested to enter the name of the good and the rate of the unit quantity. If a manager wants to view the list of all of his goods then he can select the option “goods list display”. This option displays all the available goods in the following format:

Item code Item name Cost

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

A manager can edit the existing good list. For this he should select the option “edit the good list”. In this option he can give new item code, name and rate for the existing item. The code of the item that is to be edited is asked and the new code, name and rate are assigned in place of the existing good. A good manager should keep all the record of sales of a day which can help in many ways for the future of the departmental store. For this purpose he can select the option “view the total sales”. This option displays the total goods sold per day, their code, cost, quantity and total amount. The total sale of a day is displayed in following format:

Item code Item name Cost Quantity Amount

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

Lastly, a manager can delete or stop the purchase or sales of the goods in the department as per the requirement. For this he can select the option “delete the good”. When this option is selected then the code of the item to be deleted is asked from him. If code of some item is entered than the respective item is deleted from the list.

Cashier Mode:

A cashier is a person who takes orders from customers as well as gives and receives money. In case of a departmental store a cashier calculates the total amount of goods a customer wants to purchase and print out the bill, also a cashier takes the amount from the customer.

A cashier input the code of the items which a customer wants to purchase. Then the item codes, names of the items, cost, quantity and total amount is calculated. Lastly the bill is processed. The processed bill is displayed as in total sales display format of the manager mode. However the change to be returned to the customer and the name of the cashier is also displayed at the end of the bill.

Thus these are the main components of our program along with their functions and their working process.

Features of Project

The features of any project are based on how it works and how it can make impact on day to day life of a human being. Departmental store carries a great value in a life of a normal man. A man needs his basic need of food, cloth which he can get it from a departmental store. As this program is focused on the proper management of a departmental store so, it carries a great scope in the society. Anyway, some of the main features of this project are described under the headings as follows:

Double mode system:

The project holds two modes and can be used by a manager and a cashier of a departmental store. A manager can manipulate the purchase and sales of the goods in the store whereas a cashier process out the bill according to the goods a customer wants to buy. So, the program is very much beneficial for the store.

Management:

The project mainly focuses on proper management of selling items in a departmental store. Various search and modification options are provided in the program. These options help in the good management of the store. A manager have got much options compared to a cashier. This makes manager mode more vulnerable. So the need of security was our prime effort.

Security:

Another feature of the program is its security. The password system is implied for each and every member who is using this program. A manager holds a master password this gives the manager mode extra security. Thus any secure program is much user friendly and holds great impact in society which is made available in our project.

User friendly messages:

Any program can be popular among the user if they are user friendly. The program uses the user friendly messages for interface with user. This helps in the easy application of the program among the user. The messages are not hard to understand and are written in simple English.

Therefore these are the main features of our project. These features are included in our program and each of these features is the jewel of our project.

Limitations

Any project is not perfect. Every project has got some limitations. Our project also has got some limitations. These limitations may be because it is a mini project and we are also not an expert. Some of the main limitations of the project or program are listed as follows:

The display attraction of the program is poor. No interesting graphics are used as there is no use of <graphics.h> in the program.

No use of date and time function. The option of editable password is not used considering the length of the program. The program only focuses on providing options to a manager and cashier but it cannot provide

much of the options for the customer in a departmental store.Thus these are the main limitations of the projects. If these limitations can be overcome

than our program would have been a perfect one.

Conclusion

Therefore we can conclude that the project has been successful for what it aims to perform. This program under the project can be used in a departmental store for the proper management of purchase and sales of the goods along with the billing management.

Hence although the project got some of its limitations the maximum effort was targeted for the gain of its aim i.e. departmental store management system.
