Order Management System Software Project

The software application aims to provide support for the drafting and management of purchase orders for equipment and services useful to research and to institute administrative activities. The application simplifies the administrative process flow related to orders, from their initiation to the various intermediate stages, until completion and sending to the supplier. Gathering all necessary requirements led to the definition of the main subjects using the application, being the Compiler, the Funds Manager, the Administrative Representative and the Director. The order application process typically begins by filling out a decision to be negotiated, so the application provides an interactive guide function, based on the default standard MS WORD template of the institute, where the Compiler inserts the required data; a PDF document is then produced, validated and automatically available for the next stage, the completion of the declaration of the RUP. Also in this case, the application facilitates the compilation and production of the resulting PDF document, carried out by the Funds Manager. The requested order is completed by the Compiler, who through another guided interactive function, also based on the institute's standard MS WORD template, inserting order data and producing another PDF document. The workflow is controlled by the Administrative Representative, who may reject the submitted documents, providing reasons, for example requesting correction of details, or validate and accept the documents. The next step is determined by the final validation of the Director, after which the documents can be forwarded to computer protocol and the order can be sent to the supplier. The application is created with open source technologies and frameworks, including Java 8, Spring Framework, AngularJS 1.5.8, Bootstrap 3.3.7 and 2.4 Elasticsearch, combined together by JHipster generator 3.12.2.
