The customer information is globally accessed through out the project Customer information will be searched dynamically based on name, code and area. All the information provided in the database should be reflected in the database since it is a master form.

Product Catalog: The organization produces Rail Testers with different parameters. An independent product master will be maintained which will be accessed by the project dynamically. The user can search the product based on the name and code. Any modification in any of the specification will be considered as a new project. Hence it is recommended using some unique prefix to distinguish the product groups.

6
Customer Enquiry: The marketing manager receives enquiry from a customer through Telephone, fax, Tenders, Letters etc. The customer may request for a product by modifying the some of the specifications. At that point of time the new product will be generated as per the customer’s request and the information will deliver accordingly. From the Enquiry Interface a link will be provided to the customer form as well as product form. Each enquiry will have Enquiry Number and Date, Customer name and Address, Product code and name, Unit price of the product, Quantity Requested, Discount and Total amount, Delivery period, payment terms, Lead period for Quotation, Delivery point, Remarks However the other implied factors will be intimated in the quotation. A dynamic search option will be provided to search a quotation for a quotation number, for a customer or against a product. The same will be also available for the reports. Considering the financial year all the Enquiry numbers will be generated. As per the conversation with the customer and consulting the finance team it is decided to consider the financial year from 1st of April to 31st of March. So the Enquiry numbers will be generated in the following format (“YY/Enq/MM/001”) for Example: (04/Enq/01/001). The system creates the Enquiry number automatically.
7
Quotations: Once the enquiry is received the user has to send the quotation after consulting the team within the due period. The quotation can be send through telephonic conversation, email, fax, letter etc. The enquiries can be clubbed together and send a single quotation for the same.(customer wise enquiry) The following information will be maintain for a quotation Quotation No, Date, Enquiry No, Date, Customer Information, Product code, Product Name, UOM, Unit Price, Quantity, Discount, Amount, Delivery Date, Total Price, APGST, CST, Excise Duty, Freight, Insurance, Others, Grand Total, Payment mode, Payment Terms, Dispatch mode, Delivery Point, Remarks. The user may split the products in to two types in the same quotation based on the customer request, delivery date and other implied factors. Hence duplicate product selection should be provided. Using the dynamic search option
the user can search the quotation
information by quotation number, customer and product information. As like the Enquiry Quotation numbers will be generated. The system will
generate
the
quotation
numbers
in
the
following
manner.
“YY/Qt/MM/001” for example: (04/Qt/01/001). The system creates the Enquiry number automatically. Once the quotation is raised against an enquiry that enquiry information will not display in the enquiry list. Their may be a commercial and product specification negotiation between the customer and the organization, in such cases the user will send a revised quotation / update the quotation information to match with the customer purchase order. i.e. a new quotation number will be generated and the old quotation number will also available in the old quotation.
8
Customer Purchase Order: On satisfactory acceptance of quotation, the customer places a purchase order. The Purchase order may receive based on the quotation / telephonic conversation. The customer may send the Purchase order after a telephonic conversation, hence in this case Enquiry plays a vital role, i.e. Enquiry information will be considered as the quotation. The user has to simply enter the purchase order information. Purchase order Interface consists, PONo, Date, EnqNo, date, QtNo, date, Customer Name Address, (Header) Product Code, Name, UOM, UP, Qty, Total Price, Delivery Date, Status(in a Grid) Requirement Type ( Normal , Urgent) Grant Total, APGST, CST, Excise Duty, Freight, Insurance, Other Load Factors, Grant Total, Pay mode, Payment Terms, Guarantor name, Dispatch Mode, Delivery place, Remarks. The customer may amend the Purchase Order after raising the purchase order, in such case there should be a provision to update the purchase order information.

Contract Review: A review will be made for each product in the PO. The user can negotiate the commercial and functional parameters like price, quantity, Unit price, Delivery schedule, pH factor, viscosity etc. If the user likes to modify the quotation at the time of contract review he should be permitted with the auto generation of a revised quotation, which will be considered for further processing of the orders. The user will select the Purchase order Number, considering which all the information like Quotation No, date, Customer and product information will be retrieved and he has to check the commercial and functional parameters for each product and decide to accept / reject of the order. If the order is accepted a draft work order will be generated automatically for the same. This will be converted into work order (consolidated) in the next step. Once the review is done the product name will exclude from the P.O. product list and if all products are reviewed the complete Purchase order will exclude from the PO list i.e. only the pending Purchase orders will display in the list.
10
Work order Generation: The user will raise the work orders product wise and handed over to the production department with the product specifications. The user will select a Product name and all the draft work orders will display. The user will check the Work orders and prepare a consolidated work order, which will be easy for bulk production.

No, Date, Order Mode, Product code, Name, Specification, Qty, UOM, Delivery Date. Requirement (Urgent/ Normal), Remarks.

12
Bills / Collection: The marketing department takes care of collections. Once the order is executed and invoice is raised the invoice amount will be credited to the customer account.

different browsers How to evaluate at the end of the course the results in relation with the quality plan? The goals have a priority which goes from 10 to 1, from the most important to the less important.
17
The overall of the course could be evaluated in the following way: Each goal is given a grade which goes from 0 to 10 Then that grade is multiplied by its priority in the table After doing the same with all the goals, they are added together and divided by 5.5 this way is possible to get a percentage of how the quality plan has been accomplished. For example: let's suppose that the group gets a 5 in each of the goals of the quality plan, this would mean that in average the overall of the project group has met 50% of the initial requirements. The total of the points in this case would be 275, then 275/5.5 = 50 (50%)
