For each Extra its ID, Name, Type (interior or Exterior) and Price. For output the App will list all the vehicle in the garage, all the interior and exterior extras and generate a receipt for each purchase.
The app must also manage the sales of the vehicles and generate a sales receipt. Thus, a user should be able to search for a specific vehicle using their lot Number and when a vehicle is found the information about vehicle to be purchased will be inserted into a receipt by the click of a button. After the vehicle has been successfully inserted into the receipt, additional interior or/and exterior extras should/can be inserted into the receipt. If available, the trade-in vehicle and its price must also be added to the receipt.
Apart from that, for each receipt, the app must calculate and display their corresponding costs of each inserted item as well as the total cost of the transaction, the total discount granted, the total tax, amount taxable and the payable amount. The user should also be able to remove specific vehicles or extras from the receipt or/and clear all the items from the receipt by selecting them from the receipt and removing them by clicking a button. By clicking on the appropriate buttons the user should be able to save and print the receipt.
Finally, the app should be able to display a brief report in the form of total due for all sales, number of vehicles sold, and average total due per vehicle sold.
