Hello all,
We had a detailed discussion on Inventory module with the team in Pune.
list of attendees:
* Abhijeet Balan,
* Bhavesh,
* Kanchan,
* Prasad,
* Pornima
* Sheetal,
* Vaibhav,
* Krishnakant.
The meeting started with the discussion of unit testing and we decided
that the framework will be programmed in tamdum with the current
development and with the Inventory module. Kanchan showed keen interest
in the unit testing. Pornima will forward the email for testing to the
mailing list again, (already done ).
Regarding the inventory we decided to start planning out the database.
The challenge was about dynamic categories with the product table having
user defined columns.
This could be achieved in two ways.
Krishnakant suggested that we either create dynamic tables by the name
of that category and put the spects in those individual tables.
Then create dynamic relations with the stock table having actual stock
details.
Or we could have a single table with productcode, specification and
category_code field.
the specification field will be of type json.
This might be an advantage even for searching.
The entire team will look at jsob datatype more closely and study how
keys are searched and how the value is fetched.
How the category table will be created was also discussed.
The table will have a category_code, category_name and subcategoryof fields.
Should we have a list of fields available in the product table in the
category table table to give a hint of what we have?
We concluded the meeting by deciding to make trial models and then
decide on the best possible one.
Pornima will be coordinating from Pune.
Prasad and Bhavesh had started to think on the GUI part and will be
expected to take up the challenge of the same during the inventory
module as wel.
Happy hacking.
Krishnakant.
Most team was in favour of the latter and is under consideration.
