Monday, April 22, 2024 – Last week, following the end of the Hari Raya holiday, I resumed my work on developing the report section. Before the holiday began, I was assigned a new task to work on once the break was over – the margin section. Margins typically refer to profit margins, indicating the percentage of revenue that remains as profit after accounting for all associated costs. The margin section will allow users to view the overall margin calculated based on the latest input and output, previously developed and equipped with the latest data for comprehensive consideration.
To show the margin accurately, I needed to track the the goods in and out of the inventory. Therefore, Mr. Peter introduced me to a new entity designed to record and track the necessary data. Creating this entity would enable me to achieve the required next part of margin calculation. Initially, understanding how data would be recorded in the entity’s table was a bit confusing, but Mr. Peter simplified it visually, making it easier to grasp the basic flow.
I promptly worked on creating the model for the new entity and tested its type in the integration tests. Then, I proceeded to develop its services and outlined the necessary logic to achieve the desired results. Though some aspects were confusing, Mr. Peter patiently explained them to me and was open to any necessary changes or improvements.
Towards the end of the week, I developed an API responsible for calling the entity’s service to record inventory data. Additionally, I performed migration of the newly created entity model, updated the database, and generated its SQL file before adding them to the cloud. However, there is still more needed to be done to complete this task and shall continue working on it next week.
