Capability hierarchy

Which business abilities exist, and which are parts of others?

This view models business abilities rather than source files, forms, databases, or target technologies. The evidence supports customer management and lookup, order entry, item entry, order browsing, privileged total display, mailing-label reporting, and accounts-receivable reporting; stock maintenance, backlog reporting, stock-list reporting, and order update/delete are described as incomplete. E0008 E0009

The hierarchy uses reported relationships where the source describes an ability as part of a broader flow, and inferred relationships where containment follows from the described business scope. It does not treat menu visibility or known labels as proof of business-state transitions. E0009 E0010

Elements

Customer management

Evidence: E0009

Order management

Kind: capability
Basis: inferred
Description: The application provides order entry, order lookup and browsing, and order modification or deletion paths, although some update and delete behavior is incomplete or conditionally unreliable. E0008 E0009 E0010
Evidence: E0008, E0009, E0010

Order entry

Kind: capability
Basis: reported
Description: Collects a customer, order dates, and item data, then inserts an order and its items. E0009
Evidence: E0009

Item entry

Kind: capability
Basis: reported
Description: Accepts stock and manufacturer values, retrieves item description and unit price, calculates item totals from quantity, and assigns item numbers during order entry. E0009
Evidence: E0009

Order browsing

Kind: capability
Basis: reported
Description: Retrieves customer orders and supports displaying, selecting, and navigating among orders and their items. E0009
Evidence: E0009

Privileged order totals

Kind: capability
Basis: reported
Description: Privileged order browsing displays an aggregated total-price value alongside order fields; nonprivileged browsing omits that value. E0009
Evidence: E0009

Reporting

Kind: capability
Basis: inferred
Description: The application includes working mailing-label and accounts-receivable reporting, while backlog and stock-list reporting are described as incomplete. E0008
Evidence: E0008

Mailing-label reporting

Kind: capability
Basis: reported
Description: Provides mailing-label reporting as one of the working reporting abilities described for the application. E0008

Accounts-receivable reporting

Kind: capability
Basis: reported
Description: Provides accounts-receivable reporting as one of the working reporting abilities described for the application. E0008
Evidence: E0008

Gaps

The supplied evidence does not establish a complete business-capability catalogue or authoritative business ownership model. E0008 E0010

The parent-child relationships are semantic inferences from described workflows; the sources do not explicitly define a capability taxonomy. In particular, the evidence does not state whether reporting is a formal parent of each named report, or whether privileged totals should be treated as a standalone capability rather than a presentation aspect of order browsing. E0008 E0009

Backlog reporting and stock-list reporting are named but incomplete, so their implemented scope and usable business outcome remain uncertain. E0008

Order modification and deletion are present as menu or flow abilities, but their reliable behavior is unresolved because the evidence reports stale-selection risks, misleading deletion feedback, possible referential-ordering problems, and missing transaction or status handling. E0009 E0010

The binary forms were not available for text analysis, and equivalence between the displayed forms, source programs, and Java target remains unresolved; therefore this hierarchy should not be treated as a lossless recovery of every deployed business ability. E0009 E0010
