WebSBA System Architecture  (MS Media Player)  (Real Player)

WebSBA consists of two distinct parts. First, the Small Business Accounting part,  and the e-commerce part.  The accounting part is the foundation of the system with it's capabilities summarized  in the Main Menu. The accounting  functions can be viewed in nine functional blocks, as depicted below and as presented by the  Functional Navigator. The blocs and the arrows explain a typical business transaction flow: 

Starting from the Ordering block, orders for products are placed with suppliers. Products are received into inventory and subsequently sold to customers. Upon receipt of products into inventory the quantities and cost appear in the inventory module while a liability is created in the accounts payable module. Products available in inventory can be included into sales orders and invoiced to customers.  Upon invoicing the product is removed from the inventory module and an accounts receivable of cash in bank record is created at the same time.  The Company module since it contains the General Ledger clearly communicates with all function. The arrows are transparent.

Second, the e-commerce part which is an optional "add on" to facilitate web sales. This part encompasses an electronic catalog and shopping cart. The  inventory items are displayed in a format defined by the user. The catalog is integrated with the shopping cart which is used to save the items as they are selected by the customer. The e- catalog can be inserted into an existing user's  web site if it uses frames. Since WebSBA is targeted at small businesses as a web based system, simplicity was of prime concern while adhering to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
