Pleximod Management System

Software Requirements Document

Version: 1.4

Prepared for: Shanil and the Pleximod team

Date: 8 October 2026

Status: Requirements baseline for proposal preparation

This document specifies the business functions, operating rules, access controls, and acceptance

criteria for the Pleximod Management System. It provides the requirements baseline for preparing an

implementation proposal and selecting delivery phases.

1 Purpose and scope

PRJ-

2. System Overview

2.1 Source overview

1.1 Business context

Pleximod manufactures modular wardrobes, modular kitchens, beds, side tables, centre tables,

cabinets, TV units, dressing units, luggage racks, and kettle and fridge units. It handles site work and

project work for residential properties, weekend villas, hotels, hospitals, and similar projects.

Franchise expansion starts with approximately three to four franchises in Gujarat and extends across

India. Franchises operate as display studios that accept customer orders. Most inventory remains at the

factory, and furniture is primarily manufactured to order.

Pleximod supplies franchises at dealer prices and also sells directly to customers. Each franchise owns

its customer relationship, handles fitting and installation, and invoices its own customers. Goods can be

delivered from the factory to a franchise studio or directly to its customer's site. Goods supplied to a

franchise belong to that franchise.

1.2 System scope

The system must provide one responsive web application for head office, factory, and franchise users

on desktop, tablet, and mobile. The user interface and generated documents must be in English.

02

Keep separate stock records for head office, factory, and franchise locations. Support the

factory-led stock model and franchise-owned display or project goods without assuming a

stocked retail shop.

4.11 Fulfilment dates and elapsed time

ID

The portal keeps two separate financial views: Pleximod's invoices to the franchise, and the franchise's

private invoices to its customers. Head office can access only the first view. A franchise PO is a request

Pleximod's totals.

3. Functional Requirements

3.1 Source overview

The application covers inventory, configurable product pricing, quotations, sales orders, invoicing and

payments, customer records, projects, production tracking, dispatch and delivery, machinery

maintenance, and franchise operations. Profit reporting covers orders, projects, and monthly Pleximod

results using material costs only. Order fulfilment tracking uses entered target dates and recorded

actual dates.

Franchise customer invoicing and payment tracking are included. Franchise retail invoices, selling

prices, customer payments, and private financial totals must remain inaccessible to head office and

other franchises. Head office retains access to its own transactions with the franchise and the

2 Business rules

ID

Rule

BR-

01

Support both Pleximod-to-franchise sales and direct Pleximod-to-customer sales.

Franchise studios accept orders rather than operate as stocked retail outlets. Keep factory

inventory and franchise-owned goods identifiable by location and owner.

BR-

03

Franchise orders follow PO submission, Pleximod quotation, approval, required advance,

material readiness, production, quality checking, invoicing, dispatch, and delivery.

ID

Rule

BR-

04

Support partial fulfilment, multiple shipments, and phased project delivery.

BR-

05

Normal factory dispatch requires full payment of the applicable Pleximod invoice. Selected

credit cases require an authorised exception with recorded terms.

06

Pleximod may deliver to the franchise studio or customer site and bill the franchise for

applicable delivery charges. The franchise handles installation and customer acceptance for

its projects.

BR-

07

Franchise customer invoices use the franchise's own business identity and remain private to

its authorised users. Head-office owner and administrator business roles must not bypass

this restriction.

BR-

08

Franchise users must not receive Pleximod's material costs, profit figures, or another

franchise's records.

BR-

09

Franchise customer billing and payments must remain separate from Pleximod's invoices,

receivables, and profit reports.

BR-

10

Pleximod's P&L deducts material costs only. Other business expenses must not be deducted

or implied to be included.

BR-

11

Record usage and maintenance for all machinery types and relevant components using

individually configured service rules.

BR-

12

Production speed and capacity-based order forecasts are excluded. Target dates are entered

by authorised users; actual dates and elapsed time are recorded.

BR-

13

Production inactivity alerts start with a configurable threshold of 24 hours.

BR-

14

important configuration changes.

management, accounts, and directors. User permissions must be assignable by role and organisation.

Head office handles direct customers, franchise requests, quotations, order confirmation, Pleximod

invoices, collections, and authorised reports. Factory users handle stock, production updates, quality

checks, machine usage, maintenance, packing, and dispatch. Responsibilities may be assigned to the

same user where required.

Franchise users handle their own customers, projects, POs, retail invoices, customer payments, and

installation records. They can view Pleximod's invoices to them and the status of their own orders and

deliveries.

Head office can access the configuration, site address, delivery contact, and supply information needed

to fulfil franchise orders. All head-office business roles are blocked from franchise retail invoices,

prices, customer payment records, and private financial totals.

4. Staff record material readiness and update production, quality checks, and relevant machinery

usage.

5. The dispatch quantity, packing documents, delivery destination, and Pleximod invoice are

recorded.

6. Accounts verifies full payment or records an authorised credit exception before factory dispatch.
7. Transport details and proof of delivery are recorded for each shipment.
8. The franchise records installation and final customer acceptance.

Pleximod prepares the customer quotation, records approval and the required advance, confirms the

sales order, and follows the stock, production, quality, invoice, payment, and dispatch processes.

Installation records must identify the assigned user and capture customer acceptance.

3.6 Profit and fulfilment tracking workflow

4 Functional requirements

Requirement IDs are references for review and acceptance. They are not release priorities.

4.1 Inventory

ID

Required behaviour

INV-

01

Record stock received and stock issued, with item, quantity, unit, date, location, transaction

reference, and responsible user.

INV-

INV-

03

Track raw material, work in progress, and finished goods. Link material issues and finished

quantities to the relevant order or project where applicable.

Provide a stock ledger showing inward quantity, outward quantity, running balance, and the

source transaction. Keep an audit history of changes and corrections.

INV-

05

Allow reorder levels to be entered for relevant items and show low-stock alerts.

Store the item's unit with every stock movement and distinguish usable material returns, damaged

goods, and scrap through movement records. Franchise-owned studio stock must remain separate

from Pleximod-owned stock. Full supplier purchasing, barcode scanning, advanced stock valuation, and

4.2 Product configuration and quotations

ID

Required behaviour

QTN-

01

Create quotations for products with dimensions, finish, material, hardware, and quantity.

Keep the selected specification with each quotation line.

QTN-

02

Apply the appropriate dealer or franchise price tier and support direct customer quotations.

Maintain tier values as editable price data.

QTN-

03

Keep quotation versions and validity dates so staff can identify the quotation that was

accepted.

QTN-

04

Generate professional English quotation PDFs using Pleximod's branding.

QTN-

05

Provide configurable price data for product and option selections. Calculate quotations from

entered product rates and selected option additions. Dimensions are recorded as part of the

product specification.

Pleximod maintains the selling rates and material, finish, and hardware choices. The price calculation

must retain the inputs used on the quotation so a later rate change does not silently change an

accepted quotation. Provide settings for dimension units, quotation validity, and amount rounding.

Rates and option additions are entered and maintained by authorised head-office users.

4.3 Sales orders and payment conditions

ID

ID

Required behaviour

ORD-

04

Record advance and balance payment terms, amounts received, due dates, and outstanding

amounts.

ORD-

05

For Pleximod's factory dispatch, require full payment of the applicable Pleximod invoice

amount for normal dispatch. Permit selected credit cases only through an authorised

exception with entered credit days or due date, reason, and audit history.

Store advance and balance terms on the order. Credit days and due dates are entered for the selected

credit case rather than applied as a standard cycle. Permission to approve a credit exception must be

assigned to authorised head-office roles. For partial shipments, apply the payment condition to the

Pleximod invoice associated with the dispatch.

4.4 Invoicing and payments

ID

Required behaviour

BIL-

01

Generate Pleximod's GST tax invoices for franchise buyers and direct customers using the

accountant-approved tax and document settings.

Produce invoices and related PDF documents in English with the correct Pleximod branding

and billing details.

BIL-

06

Allow entered billing discounts and the use of available credit while retaining the original

amount, adjustment, final amount, and audit record.

BIL-

07

Let authorised franchise users create customer tax invoices using the issuing franchise's

own business and GST details, branding, separate invoice number series, and English PDF

output.

BIL-

08

Let the franchise enter its own customer selling prices and invoice details and link the invoice

to its own customer and project.

ID

Required behaviour

BIL-

09

Let the franchise record customer payments and view its customer invoice balances. Keep

these separate from invoices and payments between Pleximod and the franchise.

BIL-

10

Restrict franchise retail invoices, prices, customer payments, and documents to authorised

users of that franchise. Block all head-office business roles and other franchises from this

information.

Franchises can view and download Pleximod's invoices to them and issue private invoices to their own

customers. Requirements BIL-01 through BIL-06 describe Pleximod billing; BIL-07 through BIL-10 cover

franchise retail billing. Maintain separate issuer profiles with business details, accountant-approved tax

settings, branding, and document numbering. Generate documents using the correct issuer profile.

Pleximod's payment-before-dispatch condition checks the amount owed to Pleximod. It does not

4.5 Customers

ID

Required behaviour

CRM-01

Maintain customer records with contact details and addresses.

CRM-

02

Keep billing and site addresses separately.

CRM-03

Support individual, company, and institutional customer types.

CRM-

04

Keep communication and order history for the customer, within the user's permitted

access.

Pleximod's direct customers belong to Pleximod. Franchise-created customers belong to that

franchise. Head office accesses only the franchise customer details needed for the supply or delivery

record, rather than a general franchise customer database.

4.6 Projects

ID

Required behaviour

PRJ-

01

Manage each project as one job from order through installation, with its own customer, site,

and responsible organisation.

ID

Required behaviour

PRJ-

02

Link related orders, production records, dispatches, and Pleximod billing to the project. A

franchise can also link its own retail invoices privately to its project.

03

Show project progress and the status of its linked orders and deliveries. Use recorded

production, delivery, installation, and project milestone status to present progress.

PRJ-

04

Show Pleximod's project sales value, assigned material cost, and the difference between

them for authorised head-office users. Other expense categories are excluded.

PRJ-

05

Support long-duration projects with phased orders and deliveries.

PRJ-

06

Support milestone billing when the project has an agreed payment schedule.

Head office cannot view the franchise's retail invoices or private financial totals. Project milestones do

not override the payment-before-dispatch rule unless the applicable credit exception is authorised.

4.7 Dispatch delivery and installation

ID

Required behaviour

DSP-

01

Generate packing lists and delivery challans linked to the order and dispatch.

DSP-

02

Record transporter and LR details.

DSP-

03

Support partial dispatches with quantities and destinations for each shipment.

DSP-

04

Capture proof of delivery and link it to the correct shipment.

DSP-

05

Record installation sign-off and final customer acceptance. Franchise jobs are signed off

through the franchise. For direct jobs, record the assigned installation user and the

customer's acceptance.

DSP-

06

Let the order specify delivery to the franchise studio or the customer site. Show the

complete destination and contact details. Record applicable Pleximod delivery charges for

billing.

The delivery destination does not change the franchise buyer on a franchise order. Sending goods

directly to its customer site must still result in Pleximod billing the franchise.

4.8 Production tracking

ID

Required behaviour

PRD-

01

Track orders through configurable production stages. Support routes containing cold

hydraulic pressing, cutting, edge banding, multi-boring, quality checking, and packing.

Stages and their sequence are configurable for the work.

PRD-

02

Show the latest recorded production status to authorised users and show a franchise the

status of its own orders. Display the last update time.

PRD-

03

Include a quality-check stage with photo capture and the responsible user's record. Record

check details, results, and the user responsible.

PRD-

04

Alert when an order has no production progress for 24 hours initially. Make the inactivity

limit, non-working-time treatment, and on-hold treatment configurable.

Staff enter production updates through the web application. Live status means the latest recorded

4.9 Machinery usage and maintenance

ID

Required behaviour

MCH-

01

Register all types of machinery and relevant components, with an identifier, type, location,

current reading, and maintenance details.

MCH-

02

Configure each machine or component's usage unit and service rule. Support relevant

measures such as sheets, cuts, cycles, pieces, operating hours, or a calendar interval.

MCH-

03

Record usage and show usage since the relevant service, the configured service limit,

remaining usage where applicable, and approaching or overdue maintenance reminders.

MCH-

04

Record service and replacement history, dates, actions, readings, and machine availability.

Restart only the relevant service counter while keeping prior and lifetime history.

Maintenance units and limits are configured separately for each machine or component. The application

uses them for service reminders and remaining service allowance, independently of order completion

dates.

The initial implementation uses entered readings. Machine sensors, controller connections, and

rules, reminder points, and opening readings as configuration data.

4.10 Material-based profit reports

ID

Required behaviour

PNL-

01

At sales-order preparation or confirmation, show the order's sales value, entered estimated

material cost, and the difference between them. Keep revisions to the estimate.

PNL-

02

Show actual material cost from entered cost records and their linked inventory references,

and compare it with the estimate. Clearly flag missing or partly entered costs.

PNL-

03

Provide a monthly Pleximod business report showing sales value, assigned material cost, and

the resulting material-based profit using the configured reporting dates and recorded sales

and material-cost entries.

PNL-

04

Clearly label order, project, and monthly reports as material-based P&L. State that labour,

electricity, machine running costs, maintenance, transport, installation, rent, and other

expenses are excluded.

Calculation: material-based profit = sales value - assigned material cost.

Pleximod's revenue on a franchise order is the amount charged by Pleximod to the franchise. The

franchise's selling price to its customer does not enter Pleximod's report. Private franchise retail

invoices and customer payments must not appear in Pleximod's sales totals, receivables, or material-

based P&L. Use accountant-approved report settings for tax, discounts, credit notes, and reporting

dates. Store the material cost and its source with the related order or project. Payment received is

tracked separately from the profit calculation.

The application must never treat a missing material cost as a confirmed zero cost. Estimated, actual,

and incomplete results must be distinguishable. A monthly report must identify incomplete input data

and count each included sale and assigned material-cost entry once, with links to its source records.

Full business net profit, automatic costing from a bill of materials, labour allocation, overhead

allocation, and a complete accounting ledger are excluded. Support manual material-cost entry with an

optional reference to the related inventory record. Retain the quantity, unit cost where entered,

amount, source, and estimated or actual status of the cost.

Required behaviour

TIM-

01

Allow authorised staff to enter target dates for relevant order steps, including factory

completion, dispatch, delivery, and installation where applicable.

TIM-

02

Record actual dates and show planned versus actual progress and elapsed time between

clearly named events. Allow the fulfilment-time measure to use configured start and end

events from the recorded order timeline.

TIM-

03

Keep the original target and a history of revised targets. Support separate dates for partial

shipments and project phases.

Dates are entered by staff, not predicted from machine speed, throughput, production capacity, or an

automatic scheduling engine. Machinery maintenance remains visible as operational information,

without automatically recalculating these dates. The 24-hour inactivity alert remains a separate

production tracking function.

FRN-

03

Let the franchise raise POs to head office with configured product details, project

reference, and delivery destination.

FRN-

04

Let it track its own order and latest recorded production status.

FRN-

05

Let it manage its own customers and projects.

FRN-

06

Let it view its own Pleximod invoices, payments, credits, and outstanding amounts.

FRN-

07

Let it see dispatch, delivery, and relevant installation records for its own orders.

FRN-

08

Prevent access to Pleximod's costs, material-based P&L, and other franchises' information.

ID

Required behaviour

FRN-

09

Let authorised franchise users create and download their own customer invoices and record

customer payments and outstanding amounts.

duplicate the recorded order quantities.

SAF-

08

Record who authorised a credit exception and use it only for the applicable customer,

franchise, or order under the agreed rules.

SAF-

09

FRN-

01

Give each franchise secure access through the same web application.

FRN-

02

Restrict franchise users to their own records, including files, reports, and downloads.

5. Core User Flows

5.1 Source overview

3.2 Franchise supply workflow

1. The franchise selects its customer and project and submits a PO with the product specifications

and delivery destination.

2. Pleximod reviews the PO and prepares a dealer-price quotation.
3. Quotation approval, the confirmed sales order, and the required advance are recorded.

3.3 Direct customer workflow

3.4 Franchise retail invoicing workflow

An authorised franchise user creates an invoice for its customer using the franchise's own business

details, tax settings, branding, invoice number series, and selling prices. The franchise records

customer payments and views the remaining balance.

3.5 Machinery maintenance workflow

An authorised user registers the machine and its separately maintained components, records opening

readings, and sets usage units, service limits or intervals, and reminder points. Staff update usage and

record service or replacement actions. The system shows approaching and overdue maintenance and

retains service and lifetime history.

Staff record the sales value and estimated material cost when preparing or confirming an order, then

update actual material costs as they become available. The system shows order, project, and monthly

material-based results and marks estimated, actual, and incomplete values.

Authorised users enter target dates for factory completion, dispatch, delivery, and installation. Actual

event dates are recorded, and elapsed time is shown using configured start and end events. Revised

targets retain their history.

6. Visuals Colors and Theme

[Design proposal; unspecified choices are defaults.]

Muse: Massimo Vignelli. Headline: “ONE SYSTEM. HEAD OFFICE, FACTORY, FRANCHISE.” The proposal uses systematic clarity rather than decoration: an institutional, documentary interface for Pleximod head office, factory, and franchise studios. Light-mode tokens: warm paper background #F4F1EA; white document and content surfaces #FFFFFF; primary text and Pleximod-owned records #111111; dominant Pleximod signal red #D6001C; franchise-owned and accepted/paid states #0F7B4F; credit exceptions and incomplete-cost flags #F2B705; metadata and captions #6B6B6B; optional chart-only fourth code #1B4DA0. Blue is excluded from interface chrome. Use Archivo throughout: Archivo 700 uppercase display and section openers, Archivo 500 subheads, and Archivo body text. Use tabular numerals for all amounts, dates, quantities, and counters. Type scale: display clamp(44px, 7vw, 96px), H1 32/48, H2 24/32, H3 18/22, body 16px with 1.55 leading, labels 12/13px with 0.08em tracking, tables 14/15px. Use a 4px baseline and maximum measures of 68ch for prose and 88ch for tables. Hard-edged geometry is mandatory: zero-radius panels, controls, cards, and inputs; no shadows or elevation. Use 1px #111111 primary rules, 2px #111111 section boundaries, 1px #D8D2C6 internal table lines, and 4px #D6001C active markers. Controls are rectangular with a 1px border and a 2px #111111 focus offset. Layout follows a visible 12-column grid with 24px gutters, reducing to 16px on mobile. A persistent numbered rail carries 01 Context, 02 Scope, 03 Modules, 04 Access Model, 05 Phases, and 06 Commercials; it becomes a horizontal index at 768px and a sticky single-line indicator at 375px. Use ruled tables, aligned label/value pairs, right-aligned numerals, and colour-coded cells. Imagery is diagrammatic only: system maps, module schematics, phase bars, and 1px line drawings; no photography, stock people, gradients, rounded pills, or 3D renders. The public entry recomposes accepted proposal content as a full-viewport #F4F1EA field: the flush-left headline spans nine columns, a full-width 4px red rule divides it, a

five-block key labels Pleximod records, franchise records, credit exception, incomplete cost, and shared master data, while a six-section tabular index occupies columns 9–12. The only control is an underlined rectangular “Read the proposal” link. Necessary default: no additional brand mark, image treatment, or colour is introduced beyond the supplied direction and requirements baseline.

7. Signature Design Concept

[Design proposal; unspecified choices are defaults.]

Signature Design Concept: the proposal is a wayfinding document for a shared manufacturing and franchise network. Colour functions as an access and financial-firewall code: black identifies Pleximod-owned records, green identifies franchise-owned records and accepted or paid states, yellow identifies credit exceptions or incomplete cost entry, grey identifies shared master data, and red marks Pleximod controls, section boundaries, payment gates, and active phases. The hero’s five-block key makes that model immediately legible without adding behaviour. Throughout the proposal, requirement and module IDs appear as small-caps tabular labels in the left margin, including QTN-04, BIL-06, PNL-04, and AC-04. The same ruled visual language covers inventory, configured quotations with dealer or direct pricing and retained specifications, branded English quotation PDFs, Pleximod invoices and related PDFs, material-based P&L, separate franchise billing, and the head-office/factory/franchise access model. A dispatch-gate row is the signature product-specific component: invoice amount and paid amount sit beside a binary red HOLD or green RELEASE state, with a yellow CREDIT EXCEPTION block and authorising role when applicable. Material-based reports visibly exclude labour, electricity, machine running costs, maintenance, transport, installation, rent, and other expenses. Franchise-private customer invoices and payments remain visually distinct from Pleximod-to-franchise billing. At small widths, tables reflow into readable stacked label/value rows without hiding fields or controls.

8. Interaction Model & Motion Direction

[Design proposal; unspecified choices are defaults.]

Interaction Model: Static (direction) Motion Tempo: still Hero Dimensionality: flat

Landing Hero Motion Brief: The focal subject is the five-part access-code band beneath the headline, supported by the numbered proposal index and the full-width red rule. Input is selection of a proposal section or activation of “Read the proposal”; transformation is an immediate state change in the active numbered index and a linear 200ms left-to-right draw of the red section marker; outcome is the selected proposal content becoming the current document view. This uses only accepted navigation behaviour and does not add a new destination or product workflow. No scroll entrance effects, parallax, hover lift, fade, stagger, bounce, or easing are used. The first frame is fully composed and readable: warm paper field, black headline, red divider, five labelled colour blocks, and the ruled six-section index. Permitted control and tab changes remain immediate, with any phase-progress number stepping without easing. With prefers-reduced-motion, remove the rule-wipe and move counters directly to their final values; preserve the identical static layout and all readable content.
