1. Ensure you have Python 3.6+ installed
2. Clone or download the project files
3. No external dependencies required - all modules used are built into Python:
   • tkinter (GUI interface)
   • json (JSON processing)
   • datetime (date/time handling)
   • uuid (unique identifier generation)

• Add multiple sub-items to a single order item
• Configure sub-item categories (e.g., "Veggies", "Buns", "Size", "Color")
• Set sub-item options (left, right, whole selections)
• Automatic sub-item numbering

• Dynamic question creation with field keys
• Sequence-based question ordering
• Custom field prompts and responses
• UUID-based field identification

• Pre-configured MTO items with metadata

The generated JSON follows a comprehensive ecommerce order structure including:

• Order Metadata: ID, status, totals, timeslots, fulfillment type
• Customer Information: Complete customer details and addresses
• Order Items: Products with locations, MTO metadata, and characteristics
• Payment Information: Payment methods, cards, and transactions

The application comes pre-populated with sample data including:

• Sample customer (Susana Dixon)
• Sample order item with MTO metadata
• Sample payment information
• Sample shipping address
• Pre-built item templates

The application is designed to be highly extensible:

• New Templates: Add custom item templates in item_templates.py
• MTO Categories: Extend sub-item categories and options
• Question Types: Add new question types and field prompts
• UI Layout: Modify tab structure and form fields
• Validation: Add custom validation rules
• Export Formats: Extend export capabilities

python cli_order_generator.py

python cli_order_generator.py --interactive

python cli_order_generator.py --order-id "200000" --customer-name "John Doe"

• Import Errors: Ensure Python 3.6+ is installed
• GUI Issues: Verify tkinter is available in your Python installation
• JSON Generation Errors: Check that all required fields are filled
• MTO Management: Ensure items are selected before managing MTO data
• Template Loading: Verify template names match available templates

The application welcomes contributions for:

• Additional item templates
• New MTO categories and options
• Enhanced validation rules
• API integrations
• Export format extensions
• UI/UX improvements
• Performance optimizations
