I have an inventory app, how to make daily opening stock /closing stock.I want the system done automatically,that is as users exit,closing stocks & next day opening stocks as users log in.Then daily stock reports can be generated.
View RepliesHi guys,
Before you say anything, yes i have spent endless hours searching the forums for what im trying to find. The simple fact being that i can't find anything that fits my situation or i simply can't understand it.
Heres the problem -
I've been given the task, by a family member, to design and build a database. The database is for his carpet shop/warehouse. Being of such a business the warehouse always has stock coming in and going out. The manager can't keep track quikcly enough.
He therfore needs -
- A database of products in stock
- A history of old stock and who it was sold to (which customer/invoice)
- An easy, user freindly, way of entering stock as quickly as possible as it comes in
- A form for orders, which, in the top half the customer information is entered and in the bottom half a products/stock search by the stock ID/number to find the products they are buying. Also a subtotal/total box.
- The stock needs to be deducted from the stock/products list when it is bought and goes into a history database/table.
- Reports based on Orders, with only relevant information, for customer invoices.
- A stock search facility where all stock, present and past, can be searched to see what is most popular according to manafacturer, colour, quality etc.
It is not a shop/EPOS application that i am trying to create. Its simply a stock control system which, as a bi-product, produces invoices and reports etc. It goes without saying that, as staff members don;t have extensive computer knowledge, the whole database must very user freindly and simple and clear etc.
Now MY problem -
I can produce simple databases and can set up straight forward queries/reports etc. But the whole stock update thing really confuses me.
- i dont know what the set-up/design of the database should be
- i dont know how to do the stock update thingy
- i dont know how to create a search facility for products being purchased
- i dont know how to move the stock from the stock table into a history table with the customer/invoice information
- i dont know, qithout creating 10 different queries, how to make a stock search facility which the user can determine the criteria for searching
- i dont know how to make the whole thing look simple and user friendly!
What im looing for guys is for anyone to point me in the right direction. i Might sound lazy just asking for people to help a bit but i have spent weeks trying different things out, using examples, reading books, EVERYTHING. It all seems complicated until someone explains it to me. I dont mind doing it all myself but i dont know where or how to start. Can anyone suggest a suitable design/set-up? Can anyone provide a sample/example i could look at that is very similar? Can anyone help in any ways what so ever. I thought i was fairly good with computers but this proves that when it comes to advanced access im just a noob. if anyone can help a guy in need what so ever please do.
you all sounded really helpfull in other posts and i hope you can do the same for me. please remeber im a bit of a novice so be gentle! Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide me with.
All the best, James :)

Hello,
I am not sure how complicated of a job this is, but we want to be able to import our daily recievals of inventory into our existing inventory database instead of entering it by hand. I try using the wizard, however when I get to "finish" it says there was an error and it was not imported.
I don't know much about access but I was hoping one of you could point me in the right direction.
i have a production database in which i have different sections processing on the same product. i have a daily production entry form on which datewise entry is done for each section.
i want to maintain the total stock of each section (sectionB) with productName, input from sectionA , production from sectionB, balance (input-production) . presently i used query for this .. but i need a stock table in which entries should be inserted by an automatic query .. how should i achieve this :
1. by an append query who runs every time to append the quantity when a daily entry is made .??
2. by an update query to replace the quantity with a qty from totals query ?
i.e. what is the best method to maintain inventory from input & output tables ?
Im building an inventory database for my company and have the tables, relationships, forms and query's built but im struggling to figure out a way to make all the quantities move around when I have a purchase order or sales order that either adds to removes from inventory.
My database is fairly simple as all I need to do is track what is coming and going and what is the current levels of inventory. I have for instance a product table that has all the information on what products I have and what their part numbers, item number (primary key), description and so forth, separate customer tables and supplier tables, as well as an inventory table setup similar to the northwinds database. I used queries to combine my purchase order and purchase order detail tables and to combine the sales order and sales order detail tables to make sales orders and purchase orders through their respected forms and all is good in that sense but it doesn't move the inventory numbers just lists what is in each purchase Order/Sales order.
I have a form that displays a stock inventory, one of the fields I use is called [ItemCode].
On the Stock_Inventory form I have 10 command buttons that open other forms to display additional product information.
These were previously sub_forms that sat in a tabbed control box within the Stock_Inventory Form but as it now takes a while for the form to load (lots of queries running each time you search for a product) users are getting slightly frustrated.
So, what I decided to do, was move each subform from the tabbed control into a new form and open that form when it is needed by the user.
OK, when I open Stock_Inventory and search for a product [ItemCode = "ABC123"] and then want to see the Sales_History, I have to open my new form, Stock_Inventory_Sales_History, within this form are two sub-forms, each subform has a field called [ItemCode].
However, when Stock_Inventory_Sales_History opens it asks me to input the parameter [ItemCode] twice, I presume this is because the Stock_Inventory_Sales_History does not have a record source and that the subforms need [ItemCode="ABC123"] to run each query and return the data.
I need to pass the [ItemCode] from the Stock_Inventory form to each of the 2 Subforms that are on the Stock_Inventory_Sales_History form automatically.
I'm trying to use an unbound form to enter single inventory items to my database. As part of the function of this form, I'd like to check new items against the current inventory, and perform the function you can see in the error handling code(Which works fine). Currently, when I try to run this I get an error on the syntax of the 'FROM' clause.

Option Explicit

I want to make inventory fifo(first in first out) db. Example:
February
1- beginning balance : 800 unit @ 6$ per unit
4- received 200 unit @ 7$ per unit
10- received 200 unit @ 8$ per unit
11- issued 800 unit
12- received 400 unit @ 8$ per unit
20- issued 500 unit
25- returned 100 unit to storeroom to be recorded as latest issued prices
28- received 600 unit @ 9$ per unit
The report must be like pic attached
I dont know how to make transaction to do this....
My database in attachment
We receive a daily csv file from another database and we are trying to automate this process as much as possible.
At the moment, the other system will extract any new records, save a file as importddmmyyyy.csv in a specified location e.g. c:importpendingimportddmmyyyy.csv and then make a call to open access giving access the file path as follows
masaccess.exe "C:mydatabase.mdb" /nostartup / Excl/ cmd Filepath="c:importpendingimport09082013.csv"
I have configured access to automatically open a form, "ImportForm" when it opens, and I have configured this form to automatically run an event procedure on loading "importdailyfile".
My problem lies in writing this procedure. Basically I need it to run the Transfer Text command (I have already create an import specification)
DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, "myimportspec", "table to append the data to", filepath, true
The problem I am facing is that as the filepath changes on a daily basis given the naming conventions (which i cannot change) and my knowledge of VBA s pretty basic, I don't know how to make the procedure pick up the filepath that the other system is providing in the call to open access.
I have a daily file to import. If I hard code the entire file name my code works. My problem is getting around the daily name change of the file.The owner has an automated process that creates the file so the name every day is slightly different due to the timestamp. Here's an example
Today's file is "mydailyfile_20140317_1035.xls"
Tomorrow will be "mydailyfile_20140318_1033.xls"
I can account for date using "sFileDate = Format(Now(), "yyyymmdd")".The hour/minutes is never the same.is there a wildcard solution??
i have 2tables,table1=productid,ProductName,Qty table2=Productid,productName,Qty,date(). I want to be able to backup Records programatically daily from table1 into table2 OnClose.But i do not want duplication of record in the same day. If changes occurs in table1 after backup,table2 should be updated Programatically.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a large database of items we sell on Amazon, I am looking to automate the process of uploading the inventory.
I am uploading a tab delimeted text file using the following code,
With CreateObject("msxml2.xmlhttp")
.Open "POST", strURL, False
.setRequestHeader "Host:", "mws.amazonservices.co.uk"
.setRequestHeader "User-Agent:", "VBA"
.setRequestHeader "Content-MD5:", md5hdr2
.setRequestHeader "Content-Type:", "text"
.send c2a
Forms!Form1.Text3.value = .responseText
End With
I am confident I have the signature and the MD5 Header, but I cannot get the data into Amazon!
I keep getting a non-descript error "InputDataError".
When debugging my Play API, I was told that the "send" command was not uploading the file contents, it was uploading the filename! So c2a is a string variable that contains the tab delimited data. This works like a charm for Play, but no joy for Amazon.
I'm trying to add items received to my inventory table. If the item is already in the table, I just want to update the number and cost etc. If the item is not in the inventory table I want to add it. My problem is determining which item in the source table is already in the target table so I can either update of add. how to find an item number in target table by looping through the source table?
Here's the code I've written which doesn't work.
Dim I As Integer
Dim db As Database
Dim rs As Recordset
Dim rs2 As Recordset
Set rs = Nothing
Set rs2 = Nothing
Set db = CurrentDb

I am setting up a inventory database and i will like the cost of the items to be calculated using FIFO.
Sample tables:
PARTS TABLE:
part code
description
cost
quantity on hand
PART TYPES
part type id
party type
INVENTORY
invent id
location
reorder quantity
INVOICE
id
date
part code
part type
qty
cost
ext cost
NB
For every item i will like the previous cost to be charged before the new cost. eg. if 10 pens where entered at $2 and another 5pens were entered at $4 each and 1 need 11 pens, i want the first 10 to be charged at $2 each and one at $4.
I'm making a daily renting cars system. The client should pay every day ( day by day). Everything is ok but if the client pay at these days....

04-05-06-07-08-09-13-14-15/01/2015
the client didn't pay the fees
Opening the payment form and make a new record everyday even if the client didn't pay and finally by a query I'm getting a list where the payment date field Is Null, but is there any other solution without adding the dates manually.
I have a list box that allows multiple selections [Inventory]. I also have a combo box that has multiple selections [Shows].
Right now, user selects from list box and from a combo box and clicks a button. On button click, the items from the list box are associated with the PK from the combo and stored in a junction table. This allows me to quickly associate many inventory items to one show.
I realized that there I currently have no way to prevent duplicate Inventory+show records in the junction table besides having a composite key. This would be fine except no records get inserted into the junction table if there's a duplicate entry.
Ideally, I think that the user should select from the combo box [Shows]. This should narrow down what shows up in the list box [Inventory] in a way that Inventory items already associated with the show are not displayed.
If I have 10 Inventory items and Inventory items 1-5 are already associated with Show 1; after I select the combo box, the list box only displays Inventory items 6-10.
Here's the associated code
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Private Sub cmdAddRecords_Click()
Dim strSQL As String
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim ctl As Control

I have an order form with an order details sub form. Both are bound to their respective tables and function correctly, with the OrderID being inserted automatically into the order details table.
However I am using VBA to update and check stock and have it working when attached to a separate form called process orders. Which event would be the best place to place this code. I do not really want to have the process orders form. Would it be on the master form or the sub form. I thought of placing it in the after insert event on the subform, but there can be many order items per order and it will run before I have finished adding order items. I tried it in the after insert event on the master form, but I think that this will run the code too soon as at this stage the order details will not have been written to that table.
Code that will allow me to post selective data from a purchase received form to the inventory using a command button. this command should also add to the existing quantity in the inventory.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have the following form and subform combination:
The subform is linked to the main form by way of the "ProductID" control. (It's hidden in the subform).
Basically, each product (the finished article) is made up of many components.
What I would like to do is this:
1. Increase the stock of a "Product".
2. The Stock level control on the main form will then increment as much as selected
3. Contrary to that, I would like each component to decrement the relevant amount based on how much of the component is used up to make the product.
E.g. If I have Product A and it contains 2 components of which component A is used once per product but component B is used twice, then when I increase stock of product by 1, then component A goes down by 1 and component B goes down by 2. But If I put two of a product in to stock, I would obviously need component A to go down by 2 but component B to go down by 4.
I am thinking I need some way to loop through each record in the sub form for the current form, such as "Do While Not", or a "For Each". And then stick an Update query within the loop, but to be honest I can't think of how I need to address it!
I have One table(and designed form from it) in which i have recording the daily transactions(it is like a daily book). Daily transactions took place like Purchase of items of Amount 45, sale=70, sold on account=100 etc.
What problem i am facing is: I would like to Add Cash In Hand amount and would like to show it on my form. When day end I would like to move remaining cash In Hand on separate column of that date. The next day i would like to take the previous Remaining Cash in Hand as Cash In Hand at Start for next date and so on.

From Excel, I open a database and start a macro with the following:
Set oApp = CreateObject("Access.Application")
oApp.Visible = False
oApp.OpenCurrentDatabase db, True
oApp.DoCmd.RunMacro "Import_Data"
With the macro running and Access not visible, how can I make the database visible if an error occurs in the macro? Currently, if an error occurs in the macro, a 'Msgbox' message is generated (by the database macro). But with Access not visible and Excel visible, the process cannot continue unless the user knows to click on the 'Microsoft Access' icon in the task bar to bring Access to foreground and acknowledge the 'Msgbox' message.
I'd like to activate the Access window from within the database macro.
i want to make a string that contains all of the fields in a column.

I've been using Allen Browns method [URL] to copy form and sub form data, and it works perfectly after some adaptation.
It changes dates to today from whatever the date 'was'.. perfect.. however, as I'm still learning SQL, is there a way, to make the copied subform's date into today as well...this is my adapted code from the SQL part..
Code:
'Duplicate the related records: append query.
If Forms!FRMREGISTERMain!frmJustSubRecordsDEPOSITS.Form.RecordsetClone.RecordCount > 0 Then
strSql = "INSERT INTO [tblSplits] ( TopLineID, TransDate, Memo, Category, SubCategory, Credit, Debit) " & _
[Code].....
As I'm still learning, am I right in thinking that I'll use SELECT and/or WHERE somewhere in there?
