1. Introduction

The Warehouse Management Application is a Django-based web application designed to streamline and optimize warehouse operations. It provides features for monitoring warehouse capacity, scheduling shipments, and receiving notifications for low inventory levels and maximum capacity.

2. Getting Started

Prerequisites

Before installing the application, ensure you have the following prerequisites:

• Python 3.x
• Django (latest version)
• SQLite (or any other compatible database)

Installation

Follow these steps to set up the Warehouse Management Application:

1. Clone the repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/your-username/warehouse-management.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

cd warehouse-management

3. Install the required dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Run the application:

python manage.py runserver

The application will be accessible at http://localhost:8000.

3. Features

1. Dashboard

The dashboard provides an overview of the warehouse's current status, including total products quantity, total warehouse capacity, and leftover capacity.

2. Capacity Management

This feature allows users to monitor and manage the capacity of the warehouse. It displays the total capacity and the quantity of products in the warehouse. Additionally, it calculates and displays the leftover capacity.

3. Shipment Scheduling

Users can schedule shipments by providing details such as destination, scheduled date, and the list of products to be shipped. This feature helps in planning and organizing outgoing shipments.

4. Notifications

The application sends notifications for low inventory levels and when the warehouse reaches maximum capacity. These notifications serve as alerts to take necessary actions.

4. Usage

1. Navigate to the dashboard to view the current warehouse status.
2. Access the capacity management section to monitor and manage warehouse capacity.
3. Schedule shipments by providing the necessary details in the shipment scheduling form.
4. Keep an eye on notifications for alerts about low inventory levels and maximum capacity.

5. Database Backup

Creating an SQL Dump

To create an SQL dump of your SQLite database, follow these steps:

1. Open a command prompt or terminal window.
2. Navigate to the directory containing your SQLite database file.
3. Run the command:

sqlite3 db.sqlite3 .dump > dump.sql

This will create an SQL dump file called dump.sql.

Creating a JSON Dump

To create a JSON dump of your database content, use the dumpdata management command:

python manage.py dumpdata > datadump.json

This will generate a JSON file (datadump.json) containing the data from your database.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues while setting up or using the application, please refer to the Troubleshooting section in the documentation for possible solutions.
