  • Remove items from the cart
  • Proceed to checkout and print the bill
• Sales Reports:
  • Generate sales reports based on various criteria
  • Analyze profit/loss, stock levels, top-selling products, and unsold stock

Prerequisites:

• C++ compiler (e.g., GCC, Clang)
• Standard C++ libraries

Usage:

1. Compile:
   • Open a terminal or command prompt.
   • Navigate to the project directory.
   • Compile the code using your C++ compiler:

     g++ inventory_management.cpp -o SuperMarket

2. Run:
   • Execute the compiled executable:

     ./SuperMarket

3. Follow Prompts:
   • The application will guide you through the various features.

File Structure:

• inventory_management.cpp: Main source code file containing the implementation of all classes and functions.
• stock.csv: Stores information about the stock items.
• cart.csv: Stores items added to the customer's cart.
• invoice.csv: Stores invoice details for each transaction.
• admin_credentials.csv: Stores credentials for admin users.
• customer_credentials.csv: Stores credentials for customer users.

Note:

• Ensure that the necessary CSV files are present in the project directory before running the application.
• The application assumes that the user will enter valid data. Error handling for invalid inputs can be enhanced.

Future Enhancements:

• Implement additional reporting features (e.g., sales trends over time).
• Integrate with a database for more efficient data management.
• Add a graphical user interface (GUI) for a more user-friendly experience.
