Introduction
The purpose of this project is to present our groups chosen scenario to simulate and create a supermarket cash register. This is usually used to calculate the total number of sale a customer was able to purchase, and will also give the people the proper change and the respective receipts with what they are buying. Attached to cash register is a cash drawer, and this drawer will open during the process of the transaction and will allow the cashier to make the change necessary for the customer. If there are no changes required, the receipts will just immediately comes out from the said device. Cash register is commonly seen within a department store, since it is one way where they can give fast services to their customers. Instead of making manual calculations with all the items being purchased by the customer, cash register is one way to calculate all the sales right away and without any waste of time, one can immediately give the fast services that the customer expect from the retailer. In order to start the process with this cash register, the sales clerk will only scan a certain item with its corresponding bar code scanner, and this will allow the register to display the current price of each item being purchase by the customer. When the sales clerk is done with it, she will then put the payment amount on the register and immediately calculation will certain follow. If there are change that should be given to the customer, the cash drawer will also open immediately for the cashier to get the change, and the receipts will immediately follow. A receipt will come out when the process is already completed, and the items are being keyed out of the store's inventory records right away. This record will help the store to have an accurate check during their inventory. In every item being purchase, there is also a corresponding record on it. The register will going to keep each record of every item being purchase, and it will be printed out at the end of the day for their inventory. It is also advisable that cash drawers will be counted from time to time in order to ensure that the cash register always has its appropriate amount of money in order to conduct the process. If the retailer is going to handle the said device, make sure to observe strictly the procedures and safety precautions, so that all transactions are made to be safe. The safety rules, programming of the department key, basic set up of the said device, and all transactions necessary to operate the cash register must always be taken into consideration. Cash registers make every transaction fast and easy especially for the sales clerk. A simple scan of every item will immediately program the different records of each item. This device will not only benefit the customers, but in the same manner it is also a great advantage for the store owner since it will enable them to have an accurate inventory at the end of the day. Cash Registers are one of the effective ways of rendering the fast services to the customers especially when you are a sales clerk.

Problem Statement
UNIPAD a multi billionaire company has asked us to create cash register software like a supermarket cash register but with more functions and accurate information. The software will allow a barcode to be inputted form the keyboard and the product price and description will be displayed on the screen. Once all items have been entered, the amount due should be displayed. An appropriate message will be displayed when the entered barcode does not have a product associated with it. The program will accept an amount tendered by the customer and calculate the change due. The product description file will contain at least twenty different products.

Test Plan
We have developed a cash register program which allows a barcode to be inputted form the keyboard and the product price and description will be displayed on the screen. Once all items have been entered, the amount due will be displayed. An appropriate message will be displayed when the entered barcode does not have a product associated with it. The program will accept an amount tendered by the customer and calculate the change due. The product description file will contain at least twenty different products. Since we have completed our solution, the code needs to be tested. This stage is similar to the desk-checking stage. The major difference is that we test the coded program on computer rather than using pencil and paper and manually performing the testing. The Product list has been created and the layout has been set out. Since this is a cash register program it easy to use, has fewer components, basic functions and reporting, improves accuracy, easily grows with the business and a better track inventory. The purpose of testing data is to test the relevant parts of the solution. This is to ensure that the solution does what is required of it. Dummy data consisting of a number of test customers together with a variety of test orders is created. The test data is structured in such a way as to test the limits of the cash register. So we will set the limits from a minimum of $5 to a maximum of $1000. These data includes orders that are both below and above this range, as well as falling within the range. Test data outside of the range should generate appropriate messages. Test data within the range should result in orders being processed correctly. The boundary values (in this case $10 and $1000) are also included to test whether the program performs the correct processing when these items are encountered. Other test data is used to test the database entries. For example, in the barcode field anything other than integers should generate an error message. As seen below.

Below is an example of the test which see`s if the solution is working perfectly. As you can see appropriate

Documentation
Welcome USERS Congratulations upon your selection of this magnificent cash register, which is designed to provide years of reliable operation. Operating of this cash register is simple enough to be mastered without special training. Everything you need to know is included in this manual, so keep it on hand for reference. Consult your Cash Register dealer if you have any questions about points not specifically covered in this manual. Functional Description This software will allow a barcode to be inputted form the keyboard and the product price and description will be displayed on the screen. Once all items have been entered, the amount due should be displayed. An appropriate message will be displayed when the entered barcode does not have a product associated with it. The program will accept an amount tendered by the customer and calculate the change due. The product description file will contain at least twenty different products. General Guide

This part of the manual introduces you to the cash register and provides a general explanation of its various parts.

Page 38

Roll Paper: you can use the roll paper to print receipts and a journal Mode Key: there are two types of mode keys: the program key and the operator key. The program key can be used to set the mode switch to any position. Drawer: the drawer open automatically whenever you finalize a registration and whenever you issue a read or reset report. Magnetic Plate: use this plate for tacking the notes received from customer.

System installation

Setting up your cash register consists of the following steps: Plugging in and Putting in the Batteries Installing the Paper Roll Setting the Date and Time Programming the Sales Tax Setting at least 2 Department Keys
Plugging in and Putting in the Batteries 1. Make sure that you plug the cash register into the electrical outlet before you put in the batteries. To get the cash register ready to use 1. Remove the cash register and the parts from the box. Store the box and packing material in a safe, dry place. If you need to move the register in the future, you can put it back in the box. 2. Remove the tape holding the parts of the cash register in place. For example, there may be tape on the back of the Journal Compartment Cover. 3. Put the register on a hard, level surface, away from rain and spilled drinks. A hard level surface makes it easier for the cash drawer to go in and out smoothly. Do not put the register on a porous surface. Depending on the surface or any cleaning solution used on the surface, the rubber feet may leave marks on the surface. Do not place the register on any valuable surface, such as antique or fine wood tables, desks, and so on. 4. Plug the cash register into a standard three-hole electrical wall outlet. (115-120 volt, 60 hertz). Make sure the electrical cord is not going to get tripped over or accidentally pulled from the electrical outlet. Put the cash register on an electrical circuit with no other electrical device or appliance. Other appliances can overload the circuit or cause electrical interference with the cash register.

Conclusion
As a group of four, we chose the supermarket problem; a supermarket cash register was simulated. A barcode was imputed from the keyboard, and the product price and description were displayed on the screen. Once all items were entered, the amount due was displayed. An appropriate message was displayed when an entered barcode did not have a product associated with it. The program accepted an amount tendered by the customer and calculated the change due. The product description file contained at least twenty different products and the contents discussed in this report included: 1. Title page, documenting group members names, due date and class. 2. Contents page 3. A brief introduction of the report. 4. A problem statement, which states what you will try to solve and the scope of your problem. 5. Gantt Chart listing the tasks to be completed, when they are due and who will need to complete it 6. A list of all the subroutines and what will occur 7. An Input, Process, Output (IPO) chart for all subroutines 8. Data dictionary of the solution 9. Data Flow Diagram of the solution (DFD) 10. Storyboard of the software solution 11. System flowchart of the solution 12. Algorithm of the solution 13. Screen layout of the solution 14. Desk check of the solution 15. The actual code of the solution (copied from VB) 16. Test plan, outlining how you will test the solution and its results 17. Explanation of the type of documentation that will need to be produced to accompany your solution 18. Evaluation of the solution, including involvement of those 19. Conclusion of the report 20. Formatting and Presentation of report
