Week 10programming Concept Assignment.

The document describes an algorithm to generate a reorder list from a product inventory file. It takes as input a file with product records containing item number, quantities on hand and on order, minimum inventory level, and an obsolete flag. It will output a report listing products where the on-hand and on-order quantities are below the minimum level and are not obsolete. The algorithm reads the file, selects reorder records, prints headings and details in a paginated format, and calculates a total reorder items count.

Q1.

Design an algorithm that will produce a re-order list of products from a


product inventory file. Each input product record contains the item number,
the quantity on hand for the item, the quantity on order, the minimum
inventory level for that item, and an obsolete code (‘X’ if the item is obsolete,
blank if it is not).

Your program is to read the product file and determine which items are to be
reordered. An item is to be reordered if it is not obsolete and if the quantity
of the item currently on hand, plus the amount on order, is less than its
minimum inventory level. Print a detail line for each item to be reordered,
listing the item number, quantity on hand, quantity on order and minimum
inventory level. Print headings and column headings at the top of each page,
allowing for 45 detail lines per page, and at the end of the report, the total
number of items to be reordered.

Solution:

Input Processing Output


inventory records print headings inventory details

 item_num read inventory records  item_num


Select reorder records
 qty_on_hand Print reorder records  qty_on_hand
Calculate total_rorder_items
 qty_on_order Print total_reorder_items  qty_on_order

 min_inv_level  min_inv_level

 obsolete_code total_reorder_items
