incoming goods. It allowed users to access and review information related to suppliers, facilitating smoother procurement
processes. This feature is vital for maintaining a robust supply chain. An area of concern emerged in the testing of the
sales transaction form. The system encountered difficulties in displaying and inputting transaction data. This represents a
critical issue, as sales transactions are at the core of business operations. Addressing this challenge is imperative to ensure
the system's overall functionality and utility. On a positive note, the system excelled in displaying purchase transaction
data and allowed users to input this information seamlessly. This is a significant achievement, as it streamlines the record-
keeping process for purchases, enhancing accuracy and efficiency. The testing phase demonstrated several successes in
the system's functionality, including login authentication, product data management, employee data display, and supplier
data management. However, the issue encountered with the sales transaction form underscores the importance of resolving
this issue promptly to ensure the system's effectiveness in facilitating sales processes. Addressing this concern will be a
priority in further development and refinement of the web-based inventory management system.
