Rachel_Young Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 Question by nomadicstate » Fri Mar 23, 2012 7:26 pm I may be missing something very obvious, but how do you go about creating a purchase order? --------------------- Hello Nomadicstate, Thank you for using FM Starting Point! FMSP does not come with a built-in Purchase Order module. You can easily customize the database to include a Purchase Order layout based on the Invoices module. Simply duplicate the Invoices Detail Printout (L94), rename to "Purchase Order," and make any other changes that you wish. You can add a button to the Invoice detail layout to navigate to there whenever you want to print the PO. This would be the easiest and quickest way to make FMSP more suitable for your needs. Let us know if you have any more questions Thank you, Zachary Church
Newbies Venko IT Posted November 5, 2014 Newbies Posted November 5, 2014 Hello Zachary, I am using the FMSP im my business and I am looking into making some changes in the way FMSP works, mainly because I want to add a module for purchases - which is basically intended to track the "In" of our stock, so we do not simply enter a value in the Stock on Hand...that would be dynamically done. I followed your suggestion and basically duplicated all tables related to invoices and made them purchases (literally copied all T12 and its relationships and created T25). Also added an atual table called purchases. All good so far. Had to copy most of the invoice scripts to ensure they would work in the new layouts. So far is working ok. Wil get on with the formulas soon. My major problem at the moment is the entry in produtys "calc_toital_invoiced_count" which calculates how many items were sold. The problem is that when I buy something (on the purchase table), it is counted as sold...I beleive this is due to a script (1308) - Calculate_Total_Product_Sales. This is beause it is pulling the info from: - Sum(T15c_products_INVOICE_LINE_ITEMS||id_products|::Quantity). The problem is that when I make a purchase, it also adds a quantity to that line. How can i resolve that, should I add another line 15C, to say quantity_in, and make that quantity, as Quantity_out, so there is no confusion. What would be the best approach in your opinion? Thanks and Kind regards Venko IT
Richard Carlton Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Venko IT, The inventory Controls were reworks somewhat in the latest release of FMSP 4.2v4. I would look at how this is working... at least in terms of audit trails. You could very much a manually adjustments table.... on another tab... that could be used for this purpose. - Richard
Richard Carlton Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 The last of the Audit Trail Videos went live in the video training... in the last day or so. You should have all the latest info. www.learningfilemaker.com - Richard
