Table Structures and Data Types

The core tables are structured with normalized data to ensure accuracy and ease of analysis:

1. Stock Inventory Table

All fields are validated as text or numeric types with data constraints (e.g., stock levels must be positive).

2. Sales Transactions Table

Sales amount is calculated automatically via: =C2 * D2 (Selling Price).

3. Stock Movement Log Table
