REQUEST FOR NEW APPLICATION
Date submitted:
November 11, 2007
Submitted by:
Vickie Hefner
Purpose:
Legal secretaries and clerks need a quick way to calculate shipping
charges as they overnight legal documents to clients and other attorneys.
Application title:
Shipping Charge Calculator
Algorithms:
Shipping charges are based on the weight of the document package in
ounces. The secretaries and legal clerks have scales to weigh the
packag e. If the package is 16 ounces or less, the minimum charge is
$12.95, then it is 30 cents an ounce for every ounce over 16.
Calculations can be summarized as follows:
Basic Charge = 12.95
Extra Charge = (Ounces - 16) * .30
If ounces are more than 16
Total Charge = Basic Charge + Extra Charge
Otherwise
Total Charge = Basic Charge
Notes:
1) Legal clerks frequently work away from the office. A Web interface
would allow them to ship from remote locations. Legal secretaries work
mainly from their desks or in the copy room; they have access to a
computer, but not always the Web.
2) Employees are accustomed to the terms, shipping charge, and ounces.
3) The application window should allow users to enter the weight and
then click a button to see the calculated charge.
4) Packages over 5 lbs (80 ounces) are shipped via a different method.
5) The application should also allow the user to reset the weight, which
clears the ounces and charge areas of the screen, so that another
calculation can be performed.
6) Use the words, Calculation, Shipping, and Reset, on the buttons.
