MurilloReis Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 (edited) Hi, I have a problem that i havent been able to solve for a long time. I`ll get straight to the point: I have a purchases and sales table linked to a items list wich is pulling data from the products table. I need the full quantity of the products. So, if i purchase 4 and sell 2 then i have 2 left. very simple but i cant get it to work. Let me simulate my problem: lets say i purchase 20 pieces of gum. In the items list it creates a new row of a record saying i have bought 20 pieces in a quantity field. Now, i have sold 10 pieces of gum. In the items list it shows i have Sold 10 pieces on an exclusive quantity field. Finaly, I go in the products table and i have a quantity field to subtract the 2 values. it just gives me the result of the first row and the first row only. if i make 2 purchases, the sum will only show me the first purchase. ------------------------------------ 2nd test: I thought of adding the inicial "purchase quantity" directly into the product table, as if i input it only as the delivery. But still no good. To make things a bit more clear: ::LIST ITEMS::: ITEM ---------- QNT Piece of gum = +1 Piece of gum = +3 Piece of gum = -1 ::PRODUCTS:: Pieces of gum = 3 ((subraction on qnt bought - qnt sold)) --------------------------- or --------------------------- ::Products:: Product Name Quantity Piece of gum = 5 ::Sales:: Piece of gum = -3 ::Inventory:: Pieces of gum = 2 So if someone knows how to help me out PLEASE DO. i am breaking my back on this issue and i think it is something simple to resolve. I would prefer if you add me on msn so we can talk more clearly and directly.

MurilloReis Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 Thank you for your response. But i didnt find the answer neither on the demos or on the links. I have purchases/line item/Sales/ but if i try to count something in the purchases or line items it just gives me the first number not the individual number. sory if i didnt get the whole picture but i just need a way to get from the purchases and the sales the sum of the QUANTITY OF ITEMS INDIVIDUALLY so i can subtract them both. Am i going the right direction? thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcooney Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Really? Hmm..Well in a typical Inventory setup, the tables would include: Products, POs, POLineItems, Sales (Invoices), SaleLineItems, Customers, Vendors. From products to calc a Qty Sold, you would create a calc field = sum (relationshipProductID::SaleLineItems:Qty). If you can get that to work, the rest will follow.

MurilloReis Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 That is exactly what i am doing. But the calculation doesnt work example. Products ID ::::: NAME 1 --- CANDY 2 --- popsticle 3 --- GUM Purchases PRODUCT ID ::: NAME ::: QNT ::: PURCHASE ID 1 ----------- CANDY --- [color:red]3 ----- 1 1 ----------- CANDY --- 2 ----- 2 2 ----------- popsticle -[color:red]1 ---- 3 1 ----------- candy --- 1 ----- 4 2 ---------- popsticle - 2 ---- 5 going back to PRODUCTS AND ADDING A QNT FIELD QNT = SUM (PURCHASES QNT) PRODUCT ID ::: PRODUCT NAME ::: QNT 1 ------------ candy --------- [color:red]3 2 ------------ popsticle ----- [color:red]1 so the sum is only giving me the first value of each product. so i dont know what is going worng. am i doing it wrong ? thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
