a$)$ inventory management component

b$)$ inventory viewing and purchasing component.

$1.$ Ability to view, add, update, and delete items from the inventory.

$2.($This could be a bonus functionality$)$ Ability to login to the system as admin role. This is the only

role that would require a user to login to the system. The system would just have a predefined

set of user name and password which allow them to login as an admin.

following:

$1.$ Search and view for items. Searching capabilities could be limit to the name of the item or

productId.

using items$$ unit cost, quantity and $7\%$ sales tax.
