Inventory Management System (Micro-Project)

Overview

This is a simple Inventory Management System implemented in C. It allows users to manage inventory transactions, search for specific items, and calculate profit or loss.

Features

• Transaction Management:
  • Record buying transactions (item name, quantity, rate).
  • Record selling transactions (item name, quantity, rate).
• Search and Analysis:
  • Search for items in transaction records.
  • Calculate and display profit or loss based on transactions.
• User-Friendly Interface:
  • Menu-driven program for easy navigation.

Data Structures Used

1. Struct (struct veg):
   • Represents an inventory item with attributes:
     • name: Name of the item (string).
     • quantity: Quantity of the item (float).
     • rate: Rate per unit (float).
2. File Handling:
   • Data is stored persistently in external files (buyingdata.txt, sellingdata.txt).

Functions

• menu():
  • Displays the main menu and navigates to other options.
• transaction():
  • Handles transaction options (buying or selling).
• buying():
  • Records buying data to a file.
• selling():
  • Records selling data to a file.
• showDetails():
  • Displays the submenu for search and profit/loss options.
• searchdata():
  • Searches for specific items in transaction records.
• profit_loss_data():
  • Calculates and displays profit or loss from the transactions.

Steps to Run the Program

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone <repository_url>

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd inventory-management

3. Compile the program:

   gcc inventory_management.c -o inventory_management

4. Run the program:

   ./inventory_management

Micro-Project Concept
