Medical Store Management System Report
1. Introduction
1.1 Project Overview
The Medical Store Management System is designed to manage the inventory, sales, and
purchasing processes of a medical store efficiently. This system aims to streamline the operations
of the store, ensuring that medications and related products are tracked and managed effectively.
1.2 Objectives
To handle sales transactions and update inventory accordingly.
To genTo develop a C++ application that manages the inventory of medical products.
erate reports on inventory status and sales activities.
To provide a user-friendly interface for store management.
2. System Design
2.1 Architecture
The system is designed with a modular architecture consisting of several components:
Inventory Management: Manages product details, quantities, and reordering.
Sales Management: Handles sales transactions and updates inventory.
Reporting Module: Generates reports on stock levels, sales, etc.
User Interface: Provides an interface for interaction with the system.
2.2 Data Structures
Product Class: Represents medical products with attributes such as product ID, name, quantity,
price, and expiration date.
Inventory Class: Manages a collection of Product objects, including adding, removing, and
updating products.
Sales Class: Manages sales transactions and updates inventory based on sales data.
2.3 Algorithms
Inventory Update: Algorithm to update the product quantity after a sale.
Sales Processing: Algorithm to process a sales transaction and generate a receipt.
Reporting: Algorithm to generate and display reports on inventory and sales.
2.4 User Interface Design
Menu System: A console-based menu for navigation.
Input Handling: Functions to handle user inputs and validations.
