The project includes development of a fully functional inventory management system using the basic fundamental concepts of Python programming language. This inventory management system is used for a furniture store. This project controls the purchasing and vending details of different furniture products having unique product Id, manufacturer’s name, product’s name, product quantity and its pricing details which is provided in a text file. The detailed information about the availability of furniture is displayed by reading/accessing the text file and suitable functions has been defined according to the nature of transaction referred to store purchasing from a manufacturer or vending it to a customer. The program initially displays options as “buy” and “sell” and asks the user to choose either of the options more suitable to the user’s preferences.
With each transaction done by the user a suitable invoice is generated which is written in the text file. Similarly, the product quantity is increased in the text file when the store chooses to purchase products from manufacturers and decreases when the store chooses to vend the products. The update in the product quantity is then written in the text file and displayed again when the user decides to transact. The invoices are generated focusing on two case scenarios. When the store itself orders products from different manufacturer, an invoice with the information of product Id, manufacturer’s name, product’s name, quantity of product the store orders and its total pricing is generated by the inventory system. Similarly, when a customer decides to buy or the store decides to vend the products, the system asks user to input different customer details like customer’s name, contact number, address and choices of shipping and displays it along with the information of product’s Id, manufacturer’s name, product’s name, quantity of product the customer decides to buy and the total cost price along with 13% VAT and shipping cost according to the customer desire. This program is built in such a manner that it generates unique bill for each of the clients.
