3) EXPENDITURE TRACKER
Expenditure tracker is a program similar to the issue tracker project as program structure. But, since the purpose and the GUI of the project is much different than the issue tracker, they appear quite discrete projects if you visualize them in your mind as an end user. In our model, there is a boss who owns the whole company. By the way, our imaginary company works for the transportation of anything from a location to a definite destination.
İn addition, there are employees. Some of them are working for administrative and secretarial service in the company. Accountant is one of these type of employees. Others are working for the main purpose of the company: TRANSPORTATION!!!. Motor cycle drivers, car drivers and van drivers can be given as an example for the employees which are in the transportation task.
Each employee has an account on the system. System will have the ability of serving through internet. That is to say, any employee can access her/his account via internet. There will be a hierarchical account monitoring on the system. The employees in the transportation task can only monitor their own accounts. However, the administrative staff can monitor all the transportation employees’ accounts with their own personal accounts. The boss, of course can see any of the empployee’s account.
Every transportation employee can enter data to only her/his account. The datas will be the reports about the daily tasks. Namely she/he will say: “Carrying smth from X to Y costed 15 YTLs. But on the way, we made a small accident and there happened a 5 YTLs cost due to the broken directional signal light of the company car.” When a report is sent by the transportation employee, she/he will wait for the respond that will come from the administrative staff. The repot that is submitted daily will be assessed by the responsible administrave employee and another report will be given as an answer to the transportation worker. Reports given by the administrative staff will not only be about assessment. They may also include some duties to be discharged by the transportation employee. The boss will be able to see which employee is free on that time. And can able to find a convenient driver to take him to his home or anywhere.
The system will also involve a database for the reports given daily. It will also form an archive of the previous reports. Any report will be accessed according to a key. A key can be a date, a word from the report body or from the sender etc. It will be written in java or JSP.
