Project Brief for Microsoft Access Stock / Sales system
This project is for my client who runs a Scuba Diving shop. It's to keep track of their stock and sales and make the correct profi calculations so they know how much tax to pay. It also keeps a track of their Qualified Scuba Diver members.

- Record VAT on items at different rates (eg. 15%, 0%, 5%, 17.5%)
- Add / remove old / new stock items to the system
- Change the amount of any items at any time
- Change the price of any stock item at any time
- VAT changes can be done to several selected items at once
- Historical stock recorded information is not affected by current or future changes to the VAT rate
- Produce reports of stock levels and value at any time between 2 date ranges.
- Synchronize the stock items list and their excluding VAT prices with the Access Database
