This repository is for an open source web based inventory system.
This inventory system can be used for entities/institutions which have multiple sites but need a centralized system for monitoring inventory across all sites.
It can be used for
- performing sales,receivables,invoicing and also reversal(cancellation) of transactions for the various inventory items
- Staff management functions(creation,deletion,role assignments) can be done for sites,users
- Support for bar codes isn't yet supported but will be built in soon
- manual for application is being done .will be uploaded soon
the inventory_sys is a web based application so typically a web server and database management system is needed .
Web server can be apache,iis or any which supports php 5.5.9 or above and also supports mysql .
- php 5.5.9 or above
- nodejs v0.10.25 or above . this is used for the print server which will print the receipts
- cakephp 2.6.9 or above.
inventory system uses a mysql database .
Create a database called inventory_sys on your host machine .
Run the inventory_sys_def_install.sql a mysql script in the /dbase/ folder to populate the database after it has been created.
Go to inventory_sys/Config/app/config/database.php
change the value of host,login,password,database to those of your database in the section below.
public $default = array(
'datasource' => 'Database/Mysql',
'persistent' => false,
'host' => 'host_ip/host_name',
'login' => 'username_database',
'password' => 'password_database',
'database' => 'database_name',
'prefix' => '',
//'encoding' => 'utf8',
);
##Printer Settings##
application has to be configured to know printer it is using for printing .
This can be configured in inventory_sys/app/webroot/js/socket.io/printServer.js by changing the var printer_lpr_options="" to point to the correct printing device .
So if the receipt printer device is LPT1 the variable becomes var printer_lpr_options="LPT1"
copy the inventory_sys folder to to your web root folder of your web server installation.
Browse to http://host_ip|host_name/inventory_sys/.
