System Requirements Document for project-723264b3

Introduction

The purpose of this document is to outline the system requirements for project-723264b3, which involves the development of a US-based accounting training simulator. This simulator will provide users with virtual task assignments, progress reports, and include dummy data for 100 customer/vendor entries and 500+ invoices.

System Overview

Project-723264b3 aims to create an interactive training platform for accounting professionals. The system will simulate real-world accounting scenarios, focusing on accounts receivable/payable and bookkeeping. It will provide users with a virtual working environment where they can receive daily task assignments and track their progress through detailed reports.

Functional Requirements as Story Points

• As a User, I should be able to access a virtual training simulator for accounts receivable/payable and bookkeeping.
• As a User, I should be able to receive daily task assignments related to accounting practices.
• As a User, I should be able to view progress reports to track my learning and task completion.
• As a User, I should be able to interact with dummy data, including 100 customer/vendor entries.
• As a User, I should be able to manage and process 500+ invoice entries as part of the training exercises.

User Personas

• Trainee Accountant: A user who is learning accounting practices and needs hands-on experience with accounts receivable/payable and bookkeeping.
• Instructor: A user who oversees the training process, assigns tasks, and reviews progress reports.

Core User Flows

• Trainee logs into the simulator -> Receives daily task assignments -> Completes tasks using dummy data -> Views progress report.
• Instructor logs into the simulator -> Assigns tasks to trainees -> Monitors trainee progress through reports.

Signature Design Concept

Interactive Accounting Dashboard

The homepage will feature an interactive accounting dashboard that visually represents the user's progress and tasks. The dashboard will use a dynamic, animated interface where users can drag and drop tasks into a virtual "inbox" for completion. Each task will animate into a completed state once finished, providing immediate visual feedback. The dashboard will also feature a progress bar that fills as tasks are completed, offering a gamified experience.

Landing Hero Motion Brief

The landing page will feature a continuous animation loop using motion/react, depicting a virtual office environment. The animation will show documents and invoices flowing into an "inbox" on a desk, symbolizing task assignments. As tasks are completed, the documents will transform into completed reports, visually representing the user's progress. This loop will last 10 seconds and reset seamlessly, ensuring a smooth user experience.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

• Interaction Model: Animated
• The landing page will feature moderate scroll-triggered reveals and hover transitions. Interactive elements will have spring physics to enhance user engagement. The animated dashboard will provide a polished, feature-rich experience for users.

Non-Functional Requirements

• The system must support concurrent users without performance degradation.
• The simulator should be accessible on both desktop and mobile devices.
• Data privacy and security must be ensured for all user interactions.

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React for Web
• Backend: Python, FastAPI
• Database: MySQL or MariaDB, using Alembic for migrations
• Local Orchestration: Docker, docker-compose
• Server-side Orchestration: Kubernetes

Assumptions and Constraints

• The system will use dummy data for training purposes, which will not be linked to any real-world entities.
• The simulator will focus on US-based accounting practices and standards.
• Users will require internet access to utilize the simulator.

Glossary

• Accounts Receivable: Money owed to a company by its debtors.
• Accounts Payable: Money a company owes to its creditors.
• Bookkeeping: The recording of financial transactions.
• Dummy Data: Simulated data used for testing and training purposes.
