Overview |
Point of Sale (POS) System |
Description |
Student team is required to innovate a point of sale software solution for business problems with object-oriented programming (OOP) approach in Java programming language. However, student team only need to develop simulated environment where output can be a console output of characters or graphical user interface (GUI). However, both display methods are acceptable without any marks discrimination. The term simulated environment is referring to software simulation instead of actual full implementation with real money transaction. For example, you only required to show virtual money account transfer without actual bank transfer to the bank account.
It is important to note that all student team’s ideas must be different and unique from other student teams. You can innovate point of sale system in different industry. E.g. food and beverage industry, retailer industry and etc. Your application is represented as Java objects in your system. You need to define the classes for these objects with advanced object-oriented programming features such as polymorphism, inheritance and encapsulation to control and manage the objects in your system. Also, you |
are encouraged to use Java’s interface to establish weak relationship between objects in your system. You must provide reporting feature of your system for your users to monitor the status of your system.
Do not use copyrighted images for your display if you are going for GUI display. You can create your own images or use public available licensed (e.g. creative common images) images with proper citation of the original source of the image.
Assignment scopes: – The sales transaction must include customer / member information and sales person information – The system must include the membership privilege (e.g: point collection for e-voucher / discount) – The system should include stock quantity tracking, stock-in and stock-out, stock return from customer – Reporting: – Reporting: o Daily / monthly sales report o Transaction report based on sales person o Transaction report based on member o Point collection / discount privilege report based on member / membership level o Product stock level report |

Deliverables |
The following items are to be handed in:
(a) UML class diagram that depicts the entity classes and their relationships.
(b) Cover page. Indicate the percentage contribution of each member.
(c) Description of your team’s assignment idea. Please provide sample screen shots and reports/listings. Printing of source code is NOT required but you need to include your Java project source code in the softcopy submission. (d) Softcopy of source code – · Include ALL your source code files and all pre-compiled classes. · Form of submission – o Each group creates a folder named using the format TutorialGroup-StudentFullNamesWithAlphabeticalOrder (e.g., RSF1(S2)-CatTanLiMei-HengTzeSeong-NgSiewYongAlice), and to be attached together with the report. IMPORTANT: Work on the entity classes should be equally distributed between the team members. Likewise for the client program and report/listing.
