  - Maintain accurate cost calculations based on FIFO methodology

- **Daily Sales Report Features:**

    - Total daily sales revenue
    - Total daily profit (calculated as: sell price - buy price using FIFO costing)
    - Number of transactions
    - Best-selling products
    - Inventory levels after sales

**Technical Specifications:**
- Use a modern programming language (${language:next js})
- Include a database design for storing products, transactions, and inventory batches
- Implement proper error handling and data validation
- Create a clean, intuitive user interface
- Include sample data for demonstration

**Deliverables:**
1. Complete source code with comments
2. Database schema/structure
3. Installation and setup instructions
