Cloud Application Development
Problem Statement
The Nail & Beauty Supply warehouse sells beauty products. The warehouse has hundreds of items in stock. Each item has an ID, brand, description, supplier, quantity, cost and sale_price. Nail & Beauty Supply warehouse would like to have a Cloud App where they keep track of stock, invoices and their customer details such as business name and phone number. You may need to create auto ID for items, for example, M-1, M-2, M-3, … and so on. This should be done when you create merchandise_assignment object. Also you need to do the same thing for customer object, but this time let it be CUS-1, CUS-2, and so on.
1) Design and create a merchandise_assignment object to store items
2) Populate the merchandise_assignment object with the given Excel spreadsheet (Assignment data.xlsx)
3) Design and create a customer object to store their details
4) Populate the customer_assignment object with the given Excel spreadsheet
Note: If you have previously created an invoice object for your labs, you need to give a different name for invoice object in the assignment. Otherwise it will not work. For example you may call it invoice_assignment.
