SYNOPSIS

The project entitled Stock Maintenance System is to maintain the entire inventory
process which is carried out in any company. Mainly the project deals with sales and
purchase of the company. First the dealer or the customer has to create an account for making
sales and purchase.

Then the registered users can make sales or purchases, product. After making sales or
purchase database is updated. First the company details and product details are added after
creating account for the customers. Then the dealers or regular customers can make sales or
purchase by choosing their desired product and company.

When it choose the product, only the available products can be transacted. For
maintaining that separate database namely stock is maintained. While entering new products
to the product database, number of quantity of the particular product available is added which
is called as stock. Stock details will then be stored in another database called stock.

When there is change in stock i.e. number of products available, stock database will
be updated. When the customer or dealer makes a sale, stock will be reduced for the
particular product. When it purchase, stock will be increased. When there is not enough
stock, product will not be transacted.

New sale and new purchase can be done by clicking new sale and new purchase
respectively. After making new sale and purchase sales and purchase database will be
updated. Administrator can view the purchase details which are done on a particular date,
total sales, total purchase, accounts details and stock details.
 INTRODUCTION

Inventory management is primarily about specifying the size and placement of

stocked goods. Inventory management is required at different locations within a facility or
within multiple locations of a supply network to protect the regular and planned course of
production against the random disturbance of running out of materials or goods. The scope of
inventory management also concerns the fine lines between replenishment lead time, carrying
costs of inventory, asset management, inventory forecasting, inventory valuation, inventory
visibility, future inventory price forecasting, physical inventory, available physical space for
inventory, quality management, replenishment, returns and defective goods and demand
forecasting. The reasons for keeping stock are as follows. There are three basic reasons for
keeping an inventory:

Time - The time lags present in the supply chain, from supplier to user at every stage,
requires that you maintain certain amounts of inventory to use in the lead time. However, in
practice, inventory is to be maintained for consumption during 'variations in lead time'. Lead
time itself can be addressed by ordering that many days in advance.

1. Uncertainty - Inventories are maintained as buffers to meet uncertainties in demand,

supply and movements of goods.

2. Economies of scale - Ideal condition of "one unit at a time at a place where a user
needs it, when he needs it" principle tends to incur lots of costs in terms of logistics.
So bulk buying, movement and storing brings in economies of scale, thus inventory.
All these stock reasons can apply to any owner or product.

SOFTWARE FEATURES
FRONT END: VISUAL BASIC 6.0

Visual Basic was developed forms the BASIC programming language. In 1970s
Microsoft got its start by developing ROM based interpreted Basic for the early
microprocessor based computer. In 1982, Microsoft QuickBasic revolutionized Basic and
legitimized as a serious development language for MS-DOS environment. Later on,
Microsoft Corporation created the enhanced version of BASIC called Visual Basic for
Windows.Visual Basic 6.0 allows creating Object Oriented Application. When Visual Basic
originally developed, it allowed to the programmer to create programs using pre-defined
objects, forms and controls. It uses some of the Windows 95 Controls. Visual Basic 6.0 can
be used to develop both standalone systems and Client Server Based systems.

Visual Basic 6.0 come in three categories

Standard Edition

Professional Edition

Enterprise Edition

Features of Visual Basic 6.0

Visual Basic 6.0 profoundly concentrates on the Internet development features,

ActiveX technology, enhanced controls, and enhanced features of existing control,
client/server, and new language features development.

Native Code

A Visual Basic project is compiled to native code for faster execution. Profiles native
code using new native code compiler option, and debug native code using the Visual C++
environment.

Wizards

The application Wizard is new and the Setup Wizard has been enhanced to enable
creating a dependency file for a standard project.
 In the professional Edition, the Active X control Interface Wizard, Active X
Document Migration Wizard, Data Form Wizard, and property page Wizard are new. The
Setup Wizard has been enhanced to support distribution via the Internet. The installation of
remote server components using Distributed COM (DCOM) and Remote Automation is an
added feature. The ability to create dependency files for projects and components created
with Visual Basic.

Extensibility Model

The new model allows to programmatically extending the development environment

and control projects, events, code, and Visual elements.

Declare, Raise, and Handle Events

Objects provided by the components can raise events that can be handled in other
applications, or by our objects, using with Events variables; Events provide a simple
alternative to asynchronous callbacks.

Create Active X Document

ActiveX document s can be created that boosts the Visual Basic application to the
Internet Browser Windows. The data control, DAO or Microsoft Access, you can create that
is virtually database independent, because jet automatically performs all syntax and data
manipulation translations. Visual Basic is a third-generation event-driven programming
language and integrated development environment (IDE) from Microsoft for its COM
programming model first released in 1991. Visual Basic is designed to be relatively easy to
learn and use. Visual Basic was derived from BASIC and enables the rapid application
development (RAD) of graphical user interface (GUI) applications, access to databases using
Data Access Objects, Remote Data Objects, or ActiveX Data Objects, and creation of
ActiveX controls and objects. Scripting languages such as VBA and VBScript are
syntactically similar to Visual Basic, but perform differently. A programmer can put together
an application using the components provided with Visual Basic itself. Programs written in
Visual Basic can also use the Windows API, but doing so requires external function
declarations.
 Though the program has received criticism for its perceived faults, from version 3
Visual Basic was a runaway commercial success, and many companies offered third party
controls greatly extending its functionality. The final release was version 6 in 1998.
Microsoft's extended support ended in March 2008 and the designated successor was Visual
Basic .NET (now known simply as Visual Basic). Like the BASIC programming language,
Visual Basic was designed to be easily learned and used by beginner programmers. The
language not only allows programmers to create simple GUI applications, but to also develop
complex applications. Programming in VB is a combination of visually arranging
components or controls on a form, specifying attributes and actions of those components, and
writing additional lines of code for more functionality. Since default attributes and actions are
defined for the components, a simple program can be created without the programmer having
to write many lines of code.

Performance problems were experienced by earlier versions, but with faster

computers and native code compilation it has become less of an issue. Although VB
programs can be compiled into native code executables from version 5 onwards, they still
require the presence of runtime libraries of approximately 1 MB in size. Runtime libraries are
included by default in Windows 2000 and later, however for earlier versions of Windows, i.e.
95/98/NT, runtime libraries must be distributed together with the executable. Visual Basic can
create executables (EXE files), ActiveX controls, or DLL files, but is primarily used to
develop Windows applications and to interface database systems. Dialog boxes with less
functionality can be used to provide pop-up capabilities. Controls provide the basic
functionality of the application, while programmers can insert additional logic within the
appropriate event handlers.

For example, a drop-down combination box will automatically display its list and
allow the user to select any element. An event handler is called when an item is selected,
which can then execute additional code created by the programmer to perform some action
based on which element was selected, such as populating a related list.Alternatively, a Visual
Basic component can have no user interface, and instead provide ActiveX objects to other
programs via Component Object Model (COM). Itallows for server-side processing or an
add-in module. The runtime recovers unused memory using reference counting which
depends on variables passing out of scope or being set to "Nothing", resulting in the very
common problem of memory leaks.
 There is a large library of utility objects, and the language provides basic object
oriented support. Unlike many other programming languages, Visual Basic is generally not
case sensitive, although it will transform keywords into a standard case configuration and
force the case of variable names to conform to the case of the entry within the symbol table.
String comparisons are case sensitive by default. The Visual Basic compiler is shared with
other Visual Studio languages (C, C++), but restrictions in the IDE do not allow the creation
of some targets (Windows model DLLs) and threading models. Visual Basic is not only a
language. Its an Integrated Development Environment in which you can develop, run, test
and debug your applications. The types of project that can be created in Visual Basic are as
follows:

Standard EXE these are the typical applications that can be developed with previous
versions of Visual Basic.

ActiveX EXE, ActiveX DLL these types of projects are available with the Professional
edition. ActiveX components are OLE automation servers.

ActiveX Control Thetype of project is also a feature of the Professional edition. It can be
used to develop own ActiveX controls.

ActiveX Document EXE, ActiveX Document DLL ActiveX documents are in essence
Visual Basic applications that can run in the environment of the container that supports
hyper-linking.

VB Application Wizard, VB Wizard Manager The Application Wizard takes you through
the steps of setting up the skeleton of a new application. The Wizard Manager lets you build
your own wizard.

Data Project its identical to the Standard EXE project type, but it automatically adds the
controls that are used in accessing databases to the Toolbox.

DHTML Application VB6 allows building Dynamic HTML pages that can be displayed in
the browsers window on a client computer.

IIS Application VB6 allows building applications that run on the Web server and interact
with clients over the Internet with the Internet Information Server.
Addin is used to create own add-ins for the VB IDE. These are special commands that can
be added to Visual Basics menus.

VB Enterprise Edition Controls It simply creates a new Standard EXE project and loads
all the tools of the Enterprise Edition of Visual Basic.

BACK END: ORACLE

MS-Access
Microsoft Access is a powerful database management system and the user can create
entire application that requires little or no programming. It supports GUI features and an
entire programming language, VBA (Visual Basic 6.0 for application). Access is easy enough
to use that in a short time beginners can manage their own data. In MS Access, the database
means a collection of tables that hold data. It collectively stores all other object such as
queries, forms and reports that are used to implement the database management function
effectively.
The MS-Access database can act as a back-end database for Visual Basic 6.0 as
affront end tool. MA Access supports the user with its powerful management functions.
Beginners can create their own database very simply with some mouse clicks. MS-Access
database supports so many data types when a user can incorporate data from other
applications. A database created in MS-Access can be accessed through Visual Basic 6.0
using data control. Here database means a collection of related tables and a table means a
collection of number of records where a record means a collection of inter-related fields. It
should be noted that a field in an entity is used to describe straight.
A single table can have any number of indexed fields that can be used to locate
records using an expression. This helps in filtering out information according to specific
criteria. A user can move inside a table very easily using the navigator tools supported by the
MS-Access database. A table can be accessed in a number of ways like as a snapshot, dynast,
etc.
 SYSTEM STUDY

EXISTING SYSTEM

The system which is followed at present is a manual system. The system consists of
book of accounts that has to be maintained in all aspects. Preparing export status reports
manually and reporting to the exporter becomes a touch process and becomes difficult to
satisfy the exporter printing work is difficult. In the existing system each and every time a
reference should be made.

DRAWBACKS

There are high possibilities to commit errors and mistake which lead to produce
wrong statement to the management. Report keeping is also not an easy task. Another
important drawback of existing system is time factor. It will not help the management to
solve the problem in time.

PROPOSED SYSTEM

The proposed system meant to give more easiness to the users that they can add and
retrieve information so quickly. There are mainly two types of users they are administrator
and registered members. The administrator is the master user; he gets the most number of
priorities than the other users. The different functions involve the case of an administrator are
updating, approval. The administrator can view and perform necessary actions. Registered
member can update the details, view details and get the desired result.

FEATURES

The proposed system is intended to avoid all the drawbacks of existing system. It will
add some more features than the existing system. The proposed system is a cost effective way
of doing the manual processes done in the existing system. It helps the organization to win
the war in the existing competitive world.
 3. SYSTEM DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT

3.1 FILE DESIGN

The design base files are the most important of the system. The performance of the
system depends on how the system is design. It has been given at most attention to reduce the
size of files and redundancy. At the same time all the files are design to incorporate all
relevant information regarding each entity. A single database with information about all the
entities will make the system more complicated. The functions and structure of each of the
database files are given below.

1. BOOKMASTER.DBF

It contains book details of Marble Management System.

2. VENDORMASTER.DBF

It contains vendor details of Marble Management System.

3. COMPANYMASTER.DBF

It contains company details of Marble Management System.

4. BRANCHMASTER.DBF

It contains branch details of Marble Management System.

5. BILL.DBF

It contains bill details of Marble Management System.

6. STOCK.DBF

It Stores stock details

7. QUOT.DBF

It Stores quotation details

INPUT DESIGN

Input design is a part of overall system design. The main objective

during the input design is as given below:

To produce a cost-effective method of input.

To achieve the highest possible level of accuracy.

To ensure that the input is acceptable and understood by the

user.

Input Stages

The main input stages can be listed as below:

Data recording

Data transcription

Data conversion

Data verification

Data validation

Input Types

It is necessary to determine the various types of inputs. Inputs can

be categorized as follows:

External inputs, which are prime inputs for the system.

Internal inputs, which are user communications with the system.

Operational, which are computer departments communications

to the system?

Interactive, which are inputs entered during a dialogue.

 Keeping in view the above description of the input types and input
media, it can be said that most of the inputs are of the form of internal
and interactive. As Input data is to be the directly keyed in by the user,
the keyboard can be considered to be the most suitable input device.

OUTPUT DESIGN

Outputs from computer systems are required primarily to

communicate the results of processing to users. They are also used to
provide a permanent copy of the results for later consultation. The various
types of outputs in general are:

External Outputs whose destination is outside the organization.

Internal Outputs whose destination is within organization and

they are the Users main interface with the computer.

Operational outputs whose use is purely within the computer

department.

Interface outputs involve the user who communicates directly

with the system.

Output Definition

The outputs should be defined in terms of the following points:

Type of the output

Content of the output

Format of the output

Location of the output

 Frequency of the output

Volume of the output

Sequence of the output

Output Media

In the next stage it is to be decided that which medium is the most

appropriate for the output. The main considerations when deciding about
the output media are:

The outputs were needed to be generated as a hard copy and as

well as queries to be viewed on the screen. Keeping in view these outputs,
the format for the output is taken from the outputs, which are currently
being obtained after manual processing. The standard printer is to be
used as output media for hard copies.

DATABASE DESIGN

Data base is designed to manage large bodies of information. The management of data
involves both the definitions of structures for the storage of information. In addition the data
base system must provide for the safety of the information solved, despite system crashes or
due to attempts at unauthorized access. For developing an efficient database one have to
fulfill certain conditions such as controlled redundancy.

Defining the data

Inputting the data

Locating the data

Accessing the data

 Communicating the data

Revising the data

Objectives of Data base design

In the data base design several objectives are designed such as :

Ease of use

Control of data integrity

Control of redundancy

Control of security

Data independence (logical & physical)

Data storage protection

System performance

System functions

System compatibility

For achieving the abovementioned criterias one have to make use of various features
that are available with the RDBMS by enforcing integrity constrains, one can ensure data
integrity and reduce data inconsistency to a great extend.
