Problem with calculation field

Featured Replies

Please help me to correct the calculated fields.

Brief summary of my problem.

We import part numbers from external system to manage BOMs.

First scenario:

We import all part number information from extenal system 1.

I have standard price and current price columns in my filemaker database wherein standard price is fixed for a part and current price is keeps on changing. For the first time when a part number is imported current price will be same as standard price. so I created stored a calculation field

CurrentCost = If ( Current Cost ≠ 0; Current Cost;Standard Cost)

Next time when that part is imported current cost should not get changed.

Next sceario:

We import BOMs from some other system where we get information for all the parts except price information. Price information I have to get from the master database.

I created a unstored calculation field to pick the price from parts table.

Unfortunately price is not getting displayed in my BOM List.

Could anyone please help?
