PURPOSE

This Software Requirements Specification provides a complete description of all the functions and specifications of the Postal Transaction management system software. The purpose of this document is to present a detailed description of the Post Office Transaction System.

This document is useful for Postal employees who use this system on the daily basis. This document will also serve as a reference to incorporate any changes made in the system to the future.

It will also prove to be useful to the managerial staff which is responsible for the smooth functioning of the counter transactions that are performed on daily basis.

This document is primarily intended to provide a detailed specification of the functional requirements for developers of the product. It also provides an overview of the product for the users. It will explain the purpose and features of the system, what the systems do and the constraints under which it will operate.

This SRS document contains the complete software requirement for Post Office Transaction System and describes the design decisions, architectural design and the detail design needed to implement the system. It provides the visibility in the design and provides information needed for software support.

SCOPE

This software is used by System Administrator, Supervisor, Counter Assistant (Operator), IPO Assistant.

The system is designed to provide user authentication by maintaining the user database which contains all the details of user along with login details such as username and password. Each user has a different level of operation for the authentication purpose. The user is required to provide all the details regarding orders for booking.
