Prepare System Sequence Diagram based on following scenario provided to

you.
ABC Construction Company has 2 kinds of customers: - contractors and common man(general public). For ABC
company both are important. There are 2 separate desks for checkout, one for contractor and another for general public.

A Contractor when buys the building material, contractor has to checkout using Contract checkout point, where clerk
enters contractor name into the system. System displays info about contractor and Credit limit currently they have. Clerk
opens another sale ticket for the contractor. Next, clerk scans every item one by one, system retrieves every item’s price
and add item to the ticket. At the end clerk marks end of the sale. System checks if sale total amount is with in the limit of
available credit limit then system finalizes the sale. The system generates electronic ticket for the sale and credit limit is
decreased by the amount of sale. Some requests for receipt in printed format, so receipt is generated for them whereas
some are not interested at all in getting receipts.

If Customer is general public then they approach another checkout as there sale is simply entered into cash register,
receipt is printed on paper as items are identified. Payment mode can be selected as Cash or credit card, should be
selected to make sure that cash register balances at the end of sale. In case of credit card payment, a voucher is printed for
customer to sign it.

To create a System Sequence Diagram (SSD) for the given scenario, we need to identify the act-
ors, system operations, and the flow of events.

System -> Clerk: Retrieve Item Price
Clerk -> System: Add Item to Ticket
