details and fault of the computer is also saved in the system. The system will give an estimated date for the
repair to be completed. When a repair is complete and the customer comes to collect the computer, the system
gives him/her an invoice and the customer pays immediately. System should generate purchase orders to the
suppliers after checking the requirement of computer parts and faulty computer details. System should maintain
