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(Hypertext Preprocessor) and mysql. This language was chosen because of its object oriented features and wealth of class libraries for developing based applications.

Thesis Overview

10     INTRODUCTION

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 installment 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

11 JUSTIFICATION OF THE PROJECT

For there to be a computerized business operation, the business must be look upon in a new way of existence

  Not only being concerned with customers, prices output and so forth one should also consider the fact that data forms, information flows procedures etc it is momentous on   the basic that computers are used as a co-existing element to information system This application is effective and productive because it enhance to process amore better information system (Automated)

On this work, we shall basically look upon the possibility of making the outline orderly model of designing effect change The process of changing system is systematic such that it is a repetition process It is a fact to say that every system has what is called life cycle especially information system By reviewing and modifying them, we say,

It is a system development cycle The routine is always cyclical It is on the system development that the familiar input processing output-feedback pattern of all system The system development contains the output which consists of various organization information systems The feedbacks components help evaluate the effectiveness of the systems terms of changing requirements

IN THE PROCESSING COMPONENTS WE HAVE THREE PARTS

System analysis

System design

System implementation

None of these parts can be considered apart from the other two To be courtesy, I would say that the activities involved in system development is interlinked set

Other organization may run a different receipts system At this project paper we shall base only on sales and purchases

SCOPE OF PURCHASES

Out of this interview with the accountant and sales manager of Rarban stores LTD, I discovered that the organization do not keep any record on credits when purchases are made Therefore the term paper nullifies the idea of computing credit in the purchase
