Introduction
This feature enables users to convert existing Excel-based inventory lists into a barcode/QR code system for efficient inventory management. The system will read product codes from Excel files, generate corresponding barcodes or QR codes for printing, and provide a mechanism for users to scan codes and update inventory levels in real-time.
Requirements
Requirement 1
User Story: As an inventory manager, I want to import my existing Excel inventory list, so that I can convert product codes into scannable barcodes/QR codes without manual data entry.
Acceptance Criteria
- WHEN a user uploads an Excel file THEN the system SHALL parse and extract product codes, descriptions, and current inventory levels
- WHEN the Excel file contains invalid data THEN the system SHALL display clear error messages indicating which rows have issues
- WHEN the Excel file is successfully processed THEN the system SHALL display a preview of the imported data for user confirmation
Requirement 2
User Story: As an inventory manager, I want to generate printable barcodes or QR codes for each product, so that I can physically label items on shelves for easy identification.
Acceptance Criteria
- WHEN a user selects products from the imported list THEN the system SHALL generate barcodes or QR codes containing the product information
- WHEN generating codes THEN the system SHALL allow users to choose between barcode and QR code formats
- WHEN codes are generated THEN the system SHALL provide a printable layout with product codes, descriptions, and corresponding barcodes/QR codes
- WHEN printing THEN the system SHALL support standard label sizes and printer formats
Requirement 3
User Story: As a warehouse worker, I want to scan barcodes/QR codes to quickly identify products, so that I can update inventory levels without manual lookup.
Acceptance Criteria
- WHEN a user scans a barcode or QR code THEN the system SHALL immediately display the product information and current inventory level
- WHEN a product is identified THEN the system SHALL allow the user to update the inventory quantity
- WHEN inventory is updated THEN the system SHALL save the new quantity with a timestamp
- WHEN a scan fails or code is not recognized THEN the system SHALL display an appropriate error message
Requirement 4
User Story: As an inventory manager, I want to export updated inventory data, so that I can maintain records and integrate with other systems.
Acceptance Criteria
- WHEN a user requests data export THEN the system SHALL generate an Excel file with updated inventory levels
- WHEN exporting THEN the system SHALL include timestamps of last updates for each product
- WHEN exporting THEN the system SHALL maintain the original Excel file structure and formatting where possible
- WHEN export is complete THEN the system SHALL provide download functionality for the updated file
Requirement 5
User Story: As a system administrator, I want inventory data to be stored reliably, so that updates are not lost and the system remains performant.
Acceptance Criteria
- WHEN inventory data is updated THEN the system SHALL persist changes immediately to prevent data loss
- WHEN multiple users access the system THEN the system SHALL handle concurrent updates without data corruption
- WHEN the system stores data THEN it SHALL maintain data integrity and provide backup capabilities
- WHEN querying inventory data THEN the system SHALL respond within 2 seconds for typical operations
