Transaction Processing System (TPS)

XYZ Electronics is one of the most popular electronics companies In Sultanate of Oman the company offers affordable electronic gadgets such as mp3 players, portable movie players, mobile phones, digital cameras, television,-mini and micro computers, tablets, portable computers, digital watches. etc. These electronic gadgets exist in every facet of life, from entertainment to education in order to cater for the needs of the customer, the company is currently planning to implement a new transaction processing system (TPS) wherein customers can buy these gadgets using the provided system Functions of the TPS include:

a. Customers Order and Purchase Entry (COPE)

b. Payment transactions (EPT)

c. Report Management (RM)

Further, assume that the company hired your project team to develop this system and will automate all business functions. At the end of your development process, you are required to submit a comprehensive report and a working prototype model of the system using C+ programming language.

Customers' Order and Purchase Entry (COPE) Anyone who is interested to purchase electronic gadgets using the TPS system shall register first his/her information and the system will provide him/her customer ID. The customer ID will be used for all transactions of the customer.

The following functions must be included in the system:

Registration of Customer. This operation allows a customer to register and customer ID will be

- provided. In addition, a customer can also view his/her customer information that includes customer name, date of birth; customer address, mobile number, e-mail address;

Order Entry. This operation enables a customer to select electronic gadget/s he or she wants to, purchase. Order ID and Customer ID will be provided by the system; and

Purchase Entry. This operation allows a customer to confirm his/her order by selecting the purchase action in the system. The entries will automatically be forwarded to the payment section of the system.Payment Transactions (PT), The customer can choose one of the two (2) modes of payment to purchase an electronic gadget(s). The expected functionalities are as follows:

a. Electronic Cash. The electronic cash or e-cash is a secure and convenient alternative to help manage customers finances. This operation does not require remote authorisation or personal identification number (PIN) codes at any given time during the point of sale. Further, e-cash operation definitely adds convenience to the customer;

b. and Credit Card. This allows a customer to pay using credit card,

Report Management (RM). The customer can print and accept a receipt from the system. In addition, summary reports will be provided to the top management of XYZ Corporation every week to be used for decision making purposes.
