The cost each batch and the total cost which includes the value added tax vat

Each item in the Stock Inventory database has a unique bar code identifier.  When delivering the goods the Supplier delivers a Delivery Notice listing all individual items. On receipt of the ordered goods, one item from each batch purchased is scanned to the system and the Inventory database updated with the quantity purchased. At the end of stocktaking, a notification is sent to the Accounts Department and to the Supplier on a Delivery Form indicating the quantity of each item of goods received and the items considered ‘unfit for sale’.  The Delivery Form indicates whether or not all goods received were in good order for sale to customers.  The Supplier e-mails an updated Invoice to the Purchasing Department and the Clerk updates the individual invoices where necessary. The Accounts Department will make payment to the supplier based on the final invoice received.

Each item purchased by a customer is captured in a separate database. The cash registers are linked to the Inventory System so that when the cashier at the Store scans each item purchased by a customer, the stock level of the item is reduced by the amount purchased. This allows the Purchasing Department to know when to order a particular item and in what quantity.  The customer is provided with a receipt when payment is made and all receipts are written to a database.
