🎯 Goal:
Build a Tally-like desktop inventory app using Python, with the following features:

✅ Step 1: Project Setup


Create folder structure:
inventory_app/
├── [Link]
├── [Link]
├── [Link]
├── [Link]
├── [Link]
└── [Link] (optional)

✅ Step 2: Database Setup ([Link])


Use sqlite3
Create 2 tables:
- products: id, name, qty, price
- transactions: id, product_id, qty, type, date, total

✅ Step 3: Product Functions ([Link])


Add Product
Update Product
Delete Product
View All Products

✅ Step 4: Stock Functions ([Link])


Stock In: Increase quantity
Stock Out: Decrease quantity (if enough stock)
✅ Step 5: Transactions ([Link])
Record transaction (sale/purchase)
View transaction history

🎨 Phase 2: GUI Development (Tkinter)

✅ Step 6: Basic GUI Setup ([Link])


Create Tkinter window
Set title, size, and welcome label

✅ Step 7: Add Product Form


Entry fields: Name, Qty, Price
Button: Add Product → calls add_product()
Confirmation message

✅ Step 8: Stock In / Out Forms


Dropdown: Product List
Entry: Quantity
Buttons: Stock In / Stock Out → calls backend

✅ Step 9: View Transactions


Use [Link] for tabular view
Show all transactions with filtering (optional)

📤 Phase 3: Extras (Optional but Powerful)

✅ Step 10: Export to Excel


Use pandas or openpyxl
Export product list or transaction history

✅ Step 11: Generate Charts (Optional)


Use matplotlib to show:
- Stock levels
- Sales summary

📦 Phase 4: Packaging & Deployment

✅ Step 12: Convert to Executable


Use PyInstaller:
pyinstaller --onefile [Link]
✅ Step 13: Polish UI
Add menus, navigation tabs (optional)
Color themes or logo

🔧 Tools Used
Purpose Tool/Library
Backend Logic Python
Database SQLite (sqlite3)
GUI Tkinter
Data Export Pandas / Openpyxl
Charts Matplotlib
Packaging PyInstaller

Suggested Timeline
Week 1: Database + Backend Functions
Week 2: GUI: Add Product + Stock
Week 3: GUI: View Transactions
Week 4: Export + Charts + Packaging
