Abstract

This project was centered on online cash receipt generating system. The current process of cash receipt generation is being operated manually and due to this procedure numerous problem are been encountered. A design was taken to computerized the manual process in order to check this problem. The problems were identified after series of interviews and examination of documents after which analysis was made and a computerized procedure recommended. This project will also suggest how to successfully implement the computerized procedure and to overcome the obstacle that would hinder the successful implementation of the system. The new system was designed using PHP server side language, jQuery and HTML. This language was chosen because of its object oriented features for developing online based applications.

1.1 Background of the Study

Cash receipt generating system is a viable source in any business organization and venture and so on, its main purpose is to maintain more reliable records of money going in and out from the firm.  This is look upon the view that the business organization must have business associates that exchange market with each other.  It is a sure fact that the most have been a contract of which, there is an obligatory task that stands the terms of agreement, it could be a payment to their client or partners or from their client who pays into their own account.  Another thing matters weather it will be cash without remark balance or install mental, and how many installments it is going to be. This is clear stated in the organization activities and manner of operation. Whenever there is payment, there is also the issuing of receipts this is centered on the writing of what each party has in stock (Droms, & Wright, 2017).

When the amount of data grows in a company, there is a need for a database system to store the data regularly. The need for an art gallery database includes storing data information, sales information for monthly reports.

This research work presents the development of data management systems for holding cash information like the products sold, monthly flow of cash, and balance sheet information for the month. All this will be explained in detail in the following chapters. The objective is to design a data management system that can store information like art work, and sales information.

In developing the database system, there will be a need to decide what the best tools are for this. The client selected Microsoft Access and Visual Basic, since they were familiar tools she works with. In order to achieve these goals, important questions that are asked include what is the information that will be stored in the database, how many tables will be needed and how will these tables relate to each other. These are some good points to note when designing a cash register.

The Microsoft Access is where the work begins; it includes creating the models for each table in the database, analyzing the content of the tables, designing the User Interface that the client will use to input data information into the database. The Visual Basic will be used for creating dynamic interaction in the database, like generating the receipt reference number for each customer that buys goods, and wants make the payment online.

• Statement of the Problems

Some of the problems observed in the existing system are:

1. Poor information circulation: poor information circulation leads to loss of customers, as the customers may be unaware of changes effected or if they could not obtain most of the time, the quantity of products they need.
2. It takes a long time to process data concerning the product and this leads to delay in the delivery of the product.

• Mistakes are made in the receipt/invoice given to customers.

1. Difficulty in determining when the branch is running out of stock.
2. The control system is time consuming, less accurate and less efficient.
3. Not having enough and accurate inventory system which may lead to profit loss.

1.3 Aim and Objectives of the Study

The aim of this study is to design and implement a computerized Cash receipt generating system. The objectives are;

1. To create a database for the shop.
2. To develop software that will keep proper stock record so that stock will not be over stocked or under stocked.

• To develop speedy update of stock when the shop is out of stock.

1. To quickly compute whether the shop is making any profit or loss.
2. To develop software that would help the computation of sales made on daily basis.
3. To ensure that the accurate of all transaction in the Invoices receipt are given to customers.

• To ease the movement of goods to customers.
• To ensure easy flow of information between the shop and their customers.

 

 

 

1.4 Significance of the Study

The essence of Cash receipt generating system is to calculate accurate transaction of the business, generate receipts, and monitor the delivery or supply the right quantity of goods and at the right time/place. Cash receipt generating system examines sales reports to see what product and services made the highest sales. The analysis is used to determine how to stock inventory, how to measure the effectiveness of a sales force, how to set manufacturing capacity and to see how the shop is performing against its goals. At any time during the fiscal year, sales managers may analyze the trends in the report to determine the best course of action.

1.5 Scope of the Study

This project explains the reason why stock or inventory is held, it also gives the purpose of Cash receipt generating system and basic definition or terms used. Furthermore, it sets the framework for the explanations of detailed aspects of receipt generating system as it is with the use of Electronic Data Processing equipment (EDP). Generally, this product is geared towards the design and implementation of Cash receipt generating system in the section of goods in Rorban Stores Ltd., Owerri.

1.6 Limitations of Study                                                                                                

In the course of carrying out this research work a number of problems were encountered.

1. Lack of adequate fund to finance the project.
2. Power Routine: The source and authority of Electric power supply Enugu Electricity Distribution Shop (EEDC) is another limitation of this project. Some typed work was lost due to the power interruption and had to be retyped.

• Time Constraints

1. The limited knowledge of ASP.net, and Visual Basic programming was great challenge to this project. However, more research was made to complete this project successfully.
