Example result

def update_total(self, *_):
    """Adds up the lines and the tax and shows the total under the table."""
    subtotal = sum(line.hours * line.rate for line in self.lines)
    tax = round(subtotal * self.tax_rate.get() / 100, 2)
    self.subtotal_label.config(text=f"Subtotal: {subtotal:,.2f}")

About this service

For a small shop, workshop or home business that has outgrown a notebook or a messy spreadsheet. The program keeps your items with codes, units and quantities in its own window: you record goods coming in and going out, and it shows the current stock and what has fallen below the minimum you set. Basic opens a list you keep as a CSV file; from Standard the program saves items and moves in CSV or SQLite; in Premium it adds suppliers, a history of moves, reports exported to files and an error log. Send us a few rows of your current list and the columns you use. We write it in Python with Tkinter, with a README. It runs on one computer: it does not sync with an online store, a till or accounting software, and it does not scan with a camera.

What is included

• What you getA ZIP archive with the Python code, a README on installing Python, running the program and building an .exe, and an example stock file in your columns; the code is also shown on the order page. From Standard, items and moves saved to CSV or SQLite; in Premium, reports exported to files and an error log.

What we need from you

A few rows of your current stock list as CSV or Excel with the columns you use (code, name, unit, quantity, minimum, shelf or place); how goods come in and go out in your business; which reports you need; your system (Windows, macOS or Linux) and whether you want an .exe. You may change supplier names in the sample. Never send real passwords or keys.

We will ask you:

• What do you keep in stock?
• Which columns do you need?
• How do goods come in and go out?
• Which reports?
• Which system will it run on?
