SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS SPECIFICATIONS

1.Introduction :-

The Bookshop Automation System is to automate all operations in a bookshop.

Generally it includes the Order Processing, Stock Management and Accounts
Management.
Before automating a bookshop we have to understand the concept of automation.
In automation of any operation we make a system which do work automatically
as the respective events occurs, for which it is meant.
There are the some common examples of the automation like that auto pilot
system in the aircraft, automatic home systems (electric system, water system,
fire alarm system, doors system etc). These are best examples of the automation
systems.
Here we are try to develop such type system which is provide the automation on
the any type of the bookshop. That means a shop which has the type system
which provides the facility to the customers of the shop to purchase the books
from the shop without any complexity.
For example any customer want to purchase any book from the shop than first of
all customer just choose the stream of the book than he/she can see the more then
one type of books there and than he/she can choose the specific book from there.
And then purchase it by paying price on bookshop cash counter and receives its
invoice.

1.1Purpose :-

Almost every activity in the world today is controlled by computer driven

software programs. His trend was first accommodated by engineering
applications in the past. However, as the life style became more and more
complex, every area of human interactions was invaded by various
Software systems, such as real time, business, simulation, embedded, web based,
personal and more recently, artificial intelligence software etc.

2
According to the above facts, managing and maintaining a book shop could also
be controlled by efficient software. This project focuses attention on designing
efficient and reliable software which controls the transactions of a bookshop.
In real world, it tends to associate with automated systems as they provide many
benefits than doing the same thing in manually. As above mentioned, here we
have introduced a system which can be used to maintain a bookshop.
When we are concerning the manual process of a bookshop, the major problem is
the waste of time. A customer has to waste his/her valuable time when he needs
to buy a book as all the events such as searching, purchasing are done by
members of the staff .In briefly, the manual process is very slow. But automation
will reduce the time taken in the whole process.
In a bookshop we should deal with a large store. Then person (storekeeper) has to
maintain it with documents which are recorded by him. Therefore, there may be
defective reports. Also company has to appointed more persons to complete the
maintenance of the stationery. Then the company has to have an additional cost.
As we familiar with this type of system at instance we will be able to have the
results that we want. Communication with suppliers, customers and other related
organizations will be more successful as the system is so fast.
When the bookshop issues an item to a customer, all the stages of the transaction
procedure will be facilitated by the system & it will be more accurate.
The purpose of this project is to provide easy shopping facility online and easy selling
facility to the merchants of all categories.

 Can know the whereabouts of both the product and the customer who opted his
product
The software will not provide the following facilities to the merchants :
 Transport facility
 Legal arguments should be settled through the courts individually
 Settlement of miscalculations of the products as the database is filled with the

packages related to the subject. It provides simple database rather than complex ones
for high requirements and it provides good and easy graphical user interface to both
new, naive as well as experienced users of the computers.

2.2Product functions :-

The following use case diagram provides complete information regarding how the
product works

The bookshop system will perform the following function:-

 User identification
 Select service
 Record purchases
 Record sales
 Search for existing books
 Calculate budgets
