An online book store is a virtual store on the Internet where customers can browse
the catalog and select books of interest. The selected books may be collected in a
shopping cart. At checkout time, the items in the shopping cart will be presented as
an order. At that time, more information will be needed to complete the
transaction. Usually, the customer will be asked to fill or select a billing address, a
shipping address, a shipping option, and payment information such as credit card
number. An e- mail notification is sent to the customer as soon as the order is
placed.
1.1 Problem Statement
The process of buying books from the small scale business requires that the
customers must move with cash in which may be dangerous to their life.
Furthermore, for a graduating student to carry out his/her clearance from all these
departments it normally takes a lot of time and a lot of processes and delay in
clearing the students, Unavailability of some key staffs while processing clearance
form, which leads student repeatedly visiting a particular office in other to sign
his/her clearance form, Loss of vital document as the filing system is manual,
Damage of document due to fire or rain incident, Illegal removal of forms by
fraudulent staff leading to insecurity, Take a lot of time to retrieve a particular
clearance form. Hence, it became important for computer software based
automated clearance system to eliminate the shortcoming of the manual system in
place.
The main objective of the project is to create an online book store that allows
users to search and purchase a book online based on title, author and subject.
As a part of the preliminary study, the scope of the system has to be clearly
outlined. This is useful for estimating the amount of effort required, the cost
involved etc.
In any Bata store Purchase and Billing department play an important role to
produce great image in market. We cannot think about an existence of an
individual department only. Here the Purchase department deals with all the
procedure regarding the purchase of the shoes from the party. Here the billing
department deals with all the procedure regarding the sale of the shoed to the
client.
During the purchase or billing procedure the Bata store will interact with the party
or with the client as external entity and with other departments inside the
environment of Bata store.
The boundaries of the system is the system is the boundary of the Bata store which
encloses the different departments including the purchase and sale department
which interact with the external entities as Party and Client.
The new system was designed to solve problem affecting the manual system in
use. It was designed use online thereby relieving both student and staff from much
stress as experienced from the manual system.
1.6 Limitations
This project covered some of the aspect of a computer software based online
clearance system using Islamic University in Uganda as case study.
Time Constraints: Due to time constraints the web-page covers only clearance for
various departments by the graduating student.
Financial Constraints: Due financial constraints people cannot afford this kind of
process online especially towards the cost of accessing the internet. Therefore, it
costed a lot to develop a full web-based clearance system.
Some documents were considered confidential and were not made available.
