Introduction

This project is an exercise in formatting with f-strings.

The Tale

You are working for a "parts" company in their IT department. Your boss wants you to generate an invoice to be included in every box shipped to a customer.

Project #1

Format and print an invoice using f-strings. See the example found HERE .

Add at least 8 more products to the list (warehouse inventory) shown below¹.

Randomly pick a minimum of 6 products from the list (warehouse inventory) for the invoice.

Print the invoice. (This will require a mono space font.)

Requirements/Design/Business-Rules

• a box of parts may contain up to 20 items
• if there are over 20 items, a second, third, ... box invoice is created
• the company address will be stored in a list¹
  (this simulates reading it from a database)
• there is 6% sales tax on the order
• taxes are rounded to the nearest penny
• if the total cost of the order (minus any taxes) is over $100, shipping is free
  otherwise there is a 10% charge for shipping
• the customer address will be stored in a list¹
  (this simulates reading it from a database)
• the items will be stored in a list¹ of lists
  (each product is a list within the items list¹
  this simulates reading them from a database)
• The invoice date is the current date

     ¹see the Inputs below.

Project #2

Create a program that allows the user to select the items to purchase. Generate the box invoices for the items to ship. (Perhaps a GUI?)

Project #3

a. save the minimum invoice information in a JSON file.
b. read the invoice information from a JSON file.
c. recreate the original invoice(s).
