We have a stock situation, where the balance on hand is calculated by taking into account receipts and issues/sales from a historic balance.
how do stock systems like this normally deal with stock that can be located in multiple locations.
sounds very hard to me!
Thanks in advance
The company I work for has inventory at our physical location (our shop) and we also have inventory on trucks. I need to track the inventory in the shop and trucks so that when items get below a certain preset level I can run a report to find out how many of each part I need in each location. Create purchase orders and receive the inventory to whichever location I need it at. I would like to at some point be able to track where the parts are going.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've implemented on a form a Command Button that opens up a dialog box to allow the user to find a photo and once the photo is selected, it stores the location in a text box, (not the photo, just the location). I need to be able to allow multiple photo's to be store in the same text box. That was one of the benefits of using an Attachment data type but based on lots of comments...
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a transactions table which records a qty number (- or +) and references particular location details (location, room, rack, shelf etc). My question is how do I sum the qty for the same product at different locations. So my user sees that product A has a qty of X in location C and qty Y in location D. I can sum the transactions table qty which does give me a sum based on a single location but each location has multiple racks, shelves etc. I need to know the sum of transactions for the same product for exactly the same location, room rack etc
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhat I have is a table that contains plant info (plants that produce a product not vegetation plants). I also have a table that contains all the fields related to the products themselves. Finally I have a third table that contains the constituent items that make up products (think raw ingredients if you will). I have various junction tables set up to define relationships between all these.
What I'm trying to do is create a way of inputting a product and having an option on the form to send that product information to multiple plants. I don't know why but I cannot visualize an approach to doing this.

At this point, FE db has 4 linked tables, 3 are located in FileBE1, and the 4th is located in FileBE2.
The production BE is located on a server, the test (when working remotely) is on a local computer that is not able to connect to the server. Also, the test BE files (but not the table names) have different names than the production.
I have the idea of creating a table in the Front End that contains a list of users, filename and location (server or local drive).
Upon startup, how could I set up the vba to check the links and if they need to be changed will go and change them without the user having to click on link table manager or be prompted for names and path.
For now, I envision three rows in the table, one for the test user, one for local user and a default UNC for everyone else. (or would it be six rows since there are two files that need link checking and relinking).
I 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!
Hi All,
I need some advice as to what is the best way for me to update a program in 3 different locations.
I have developed a program that I now have running in 3 separate locations. Each location uses the same program structure and tables, but they will have different data.
When I make a change to the one in our office, I would like to update the other 2 offices so that we all are using the latest version.
CURRENTLY: I make a database file with the “forms, Reports, Queries, and modules” necessary to accommodate the changes. Then I, email the file to the other offices. I then try to walk someone there at the office through; “Get Files: Import”, then delete the old files and rename the new ones. This is risky!!!!!:(
I know there is a better way of doing this, I just don’t know it.
Can some one help me on this issue?
Thanks for all your help….ENVIVA :)
I'm an absolute novice at Access. I have a very simple (yet sufficient) database that lists our company's projects, tasks associated with those projects and when to invoice.
Our company consists of myself and my business partner. We both work from our (separate) homes. Our project files are stored in the cloud. This works well. We have investigated a server in the past, but found it to be cost-prohibitive and unnecessary for our business.
Is there a way that my business partner can have the Access database running at the same time as me, and make additions/modifications? I don't know how this would work in terms of updating/saving.
I am writing a database to track our (and others) wine collections. i'm wanting to track what bottle is where. so i can look up what i have, look up where i have put it and away i go to get it, simple right?
just to complicate things i want a system in place. where the end user and use forms to add/remove or modify wine racks.
assuming that all racks are rectangular i would like to be able to add a rack and call it rack 1. rack 1 has 4 shelves all able to hold 5 bottles. the database would then say that bottle X is in rack 1 shelf 1 position 1.
if possible there will aslo be a screen that is auto generated by the database showing a simple grid with grrn and red squares denoting if the position if full or empty. the ability to click on a position to see what is in there or to add a bottle there would be amasing but not fussed if that can't be done.
I've been given the task of combining data from three locations into one database in Access, something that is relatively new to me. I'm trying to decide whether to have the locations enter data into an Access database or into an Excel spreadsheet at each location. Regardless of the program used to enter data, I would probably like to link each of the files to my main Access file and combine the three into one database there. I do not want the locations to add data directly to the main database if possible.
My question is, would this be done by an append query? If so, how? Also, my thought is that the data at each location would be added to every day. I would need to be able to add the NEW data only to the database without duplicating the previous day's data.
Ok, I have a question. It might be a ridiculously simple question. Also, i'm under the impression that I may have to learn some VB, which i'm okay with. I've never really used MS Access, it has sat neglected on my desktop for a number of years and now I am starting to see just how powerful it is. By the way, I'm Jamie, nice to meet you all :) Now, onto the questionWhat i'd like to do is take the following database (for example)field1 = namefield2 = locationfield3 = favourite movieNow, i'd like to generate the following text from this database, for each entryDear <<name>>I once knew a man from <<location>>Was never really much of a <<favourite movie>> fan.Optionally, i'd like it to store the text for each seperately generated document in a file named <<name>>.txt, but that isn't needed urgently.It reminds me of a mail merge I learned to do a few years back in high school using appleworks (I am assuming it was appleworks).Anyway yes, thankyou in advance for any help with this.Jamie
View 2 Replies View RelatedAt work we have a terminal services setup for most of the staff which is being configured now. We have hit a snag with access security settings basically we need macros to run for relinking odbc databases and various vba functions (some run overnight so we don't want to deal with the security dialogs). We though the best way to do this would be setup trusted locations. We did this logged in to terminal server as admin hoping this would be a machine level setting but it seems to be on a per user basis.
Is there a way to set a trusted location for all users of a machine I have google and come up with nothing. The other option is enable all macros which I don't want to do.
Hi, I am fairly new to ACCESS. I understand the basics, thus i am a novice user.
I am trying to create a new database for managing booking and storing info on various artists.
In my main table where bands' info will be stored I am trying to make data input as efficient as possible and to ensure consistancy.
So, it leads me to ask this question... regarding inputing info of bands' location.
I want to use a lookup table to enter data for:
1 Country (Canada/US),
2 Province/State
3 Cities?
Questions:
1 Whats the best way to organize this?
2 Do i have to create seperate tables for each country and province? Or any kind of suggestion would greatly appreciated.
Furthermore, when entering data on the form, for instance if i select:
Canada --> then I'd want only Canadian Provinces to show in the following field ---> then i select Ontario --> then i'd like only ontario cities to show in the next field....
3 What would require for me to create this kind of thing... Not sure if there are 'if' functions in ACCESS.
Could someone please guide me towards the light?
thanks.
I have a database with company locations which I want to have on a map. Is there any possibility to embed a map (Goolge Maps or Bing Maps) where it points all the locations of the companies which exist in my database?
View 3 Replies View RelatedPreviously in Excel / Access 97 / 2003 I made a little tool that would search for files in specified locations - I modified the code so that it would search for files based on what was entered in cells.
I believe a lot of the old code doesn't work in Access 2010 and it seems like a lot of the old file searching code I used to use no longer works.
Is there code available that searches a directory and lists results?
I am trying to make a database that will keep track of invoice backlogs for different locations within a company.
Each day a report file is imported into an Access database (2010), and a query will display all locations with the backlog count of invoices for each of them. Something like:
Code:
Location Backlog
00001 84
00002 53
00003 26
Now I would like to be able to store historical data in a new table on a daily basis so that it will be possible to see how the backlogs have fluctuated over time for a given location, but I am not sure how I could do this. I was thinking I could make a table with one row for every date and one column for every location, but then I am not sure how I would populate this table based on the query that shows the results based on the most recently imported report file.
I have developed a database in Microsoft Access 2013. I wish to install and run that database on another machine on which I have already installed the MS Access Runtime.
In order to allow the database to run correctly on the target machine, I need to add two Trusted Locations - one for the front-end database and another for the back-end database.
The folder paths on the runtime machine are different to those on the development machine, so how do I add Trusted Locations (on my development machine) which remain valid when the database is copied to the target machine?
Must I trick it by simply creating an identical, dummy folder structure on the development machine (would this even work?), or is there a more elegant way?
I want to control the edits of form like if the fields in form are Area, Location, Country, Map, Landline

I have a customer table with all the usual customer details (customer ID, name, address etc...), a transaction table (Transaction ID, Order Number, Customer ID, Title ID, Date, Status (order received, payment taken, ready for dispatch etc...)), and i have a Title table (Title ID, Artist ID, Name, Record Label, Quantity, etc...)
what would be the easiest way to update the title table everytime a new transaction was added to tblTransaction so that the quantity field in tblTitle would go down by one for the right title?
Have a fairly simple scenario I hope someone can help me carry out.
I am focussing on two tables: Sales and Stock
Stock contains information on each product
and includes a 'currentStock' field which is decremented with each sale.
Sales records each sale with date and stock id.
I want one action to update both tables, what would be the best method?
Thanks
Hi All
I am seeking the solution to a problem with calculating stock adjustments
We use a job code which comprises several stock items and labour which = a $ value
I have a form "work in progress" where I enter all the job details including the job code, the aim is to reduce the individual stock items from a table "Stock" when the job code is entered.
JobCode 25WE = 1 x power point, 25metre cable , 9 x clips
I have tried several methods but to no avail, is there a way of doing this
Thanks in advance

Hi hope someone can help. Thankyou in advance.
I have a small database for my warehouse that sells washing machines, fridges etc.
I am trying to get a grip on the stock control.
What I am looking for when a order is filled out on our order form is the stock number will reduce by the amount sold. Not sure how to make this happen.
I have the number of units in stock under the products table
ProductsID PK
ModelNumber
UnitPriice
Description
QuantityInStock
Sounds simple but for some reason I cannot figure it out.
Thanks

hello, i am new to this forum. i have been struggling on a project i am doing where i am tring to calculate the stock levles and keep track of them along with the re order level
i have calculated the current stock levlel, in a query called "stock level 3"
Here the total amount prodcuts sold are taken from the field called stock level.
Here is a break down of my original tables

And all their personal details such as contact details

QUERIES
•In the query “All customer order details”, I have worked out the line total for each prodcut with in one order. I have timed the Qty_on_Order (customer order details table) by price (in the produt table) and by the discount(customer order details) this then gives the line total
Now to update the stock level I made a new query called “stock level Query”, where I added up the total number of each products sold, by adding the “Qty_on_Order” from the query “All customer order details”
I then made a new query called “stock level 2” where I calculated the amount left on the shelves by taking “SumOfQty_on_Order” of each product from “Qty_in_Stock” (form prodcuts table) to produce the field called “Qty_in_Stock”
I then made a new query called “stock level 3” where I inserted the same fields but an extra field called “Re_Order_level” for some reason could not add this to the query "stock level 2"
So far the system can add up the total number of products sold, for all the orders, and then automatically calculate the Qty_ in_ stock by taking away the “SumOfQty_on_Order” once a new order is made.
I then made forms where I go in my form to “customer”" and then to “making new order”.
Below is a sub form called “all customer order details sub form” . Here orders are made with defining "Qty_on_Order
I want to make a system which calculates for me i have ordered more stock then there is.
Howcan i now when i make sure when i place a new order in the query"All customer order details" , that if i order above the number of "Qty_in_Stock" (from query srock level 3), from the query “stock level 3”, that when I order more products then ““Qty_in_Stock”, in the query “stock level 3”, does not allow me to enter this and if it is possible please can you insert error messages on it.
I do not know if this helps .- I can not make the “Qty_in_Stock”, to appear in the actual table “Products”.
At the moment I can only update this in the query “stock level 3”. I am not sure if I need this so I can then set re order level which then comes up with an error message telling me when the re order level has been reached. -
As later on I will need to add on any products brought in from the suppliers to the Qty_in_Stock”, in the products table to be automatically updated.
"stock level 3".
here are the fields
Code:
Prod_ID (Products)
Prod_Name (Products)
SumOfQty_on_Order (from "stock level Query")
Qty_in_Stock: Products.Qty_in_Stock-[SumOFQTY_on_Order]
Re_Order_level (Products)
here are both sql from both queries
All customer order details
Code:
SELECT [Customer Order Details].Prod_ID,
Products.Price,
[Customer Order Details].Qty_on_Order,
[Customer Order Details].Discount,
(Products.Price*[Qty_on_Order]*
(1-[Discount])/100)*100 AS Line_Total,
[Customer Order Details].Order_ID,
Products.Prod_Name,
Products.Prod_Type,
[Customer Order].Cu_ID
FROM [Customer Order] INNER JOIN
(Products INNER JOIN [Customer Order Details]
ON Products.Prod_ID=[Customer Order Details].Prod_ID)
ON [Customer Order].Order_ID=[Customer Order Details].Order_ID
ORDER BY [Customer Order Details].Order_ID;
stock level 3
Code:
SELECT [All customer order details].Prod_ID,
Products.Prod_Name, [stock level Query].
SumOfQty_on_Order,
Products.Qty_in_Stock-[SumOFQTY_on_Order] AS Qty_in_Stock,
Products.Re_Order_level,Products.Prod_Name,
[stock level Query].
FROM (Products INNER JOIN [All customer order details]
ON Products.Prod_ID = [All customer order details].Prod_ID)
INNER JOIN [stock level Query]
ON Products.Prod_ID = [stock level Query].Prod_ID
GROUP BY [All customer order details].Prod_ID,
SumOfQty_on_Order,
Products.Qty_in_Stock-[SumOFQTY_on_Order],
Products.Re_Order_level;
