Capability hierarchy

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

This view treats the main-menu business areas as top-level capabilities: Customer, Orders, Stock, and Reports. The source describes these options and the routines they invoke, supporting the four top-level abilities shown here E0007. Child capabilities represent named business operations exposed within those areas; operations explicitly marked “not implemented” remain visible but are qualified in their descriptions E0007E0008.

The parent/child edges are semantic inferences from menu structure and called routines, not claims about technical containment or deployment. The hierarchy is intentionally acyclic. It does not establish actors, ownership, runtime availability, or complete business coverage; binary forms, some referenced forms, and parts of the application remain unresolved in the supplied evidence E0008.

Gaps

The evidence does not establish whether the four top-level menu areas are the complete business capability set; it only supports the capabilities exposed by the supplied main menu and related source E0007. The parent/child structure is inferred from menu commands and routines rather than explicitly declared as a capability taxonomy E0007.

Order update and deletion, all stock-maintenance operations, and backlog and stock-list reporting are named business abilities but are explicitly unimplemented, so their availability to users is limited E0007E0008. The evidence also does not establish ownership, actors, service boundaries, or whether referenced forms load successfully; several binary and additional form dependencies remain unresolved E0008.
