Consecutive Invoice Numbers, Restarting Each Month
Oct 14, 2005
Hi there,
Some scene setting to my problem. I have a corporate system numbering invoices consecutively globally. For a subsidiary in Poland this presents a problem - all invoices for the subsidiary must be consecutive. ie. where the globally issued invoices for Poland might be 1,4,5,7 these need to be renumbered before issue in Poland.
It gets more complicated as the Polish Office standard is to invoice in the format "PL/Year/Month/Number" with the Number restarting from 1 for each month.
My database is very simple.
Table 1 = Link table to Oracle corporate data
Table 2 = Local table of invoices already produced (Global invoice number and date recorded)
I have a filter to find all new invoices (unmatched items), a report to print them and an Append query to populate the new items to the Local table.
My challenge: (1) to recreate the Polish numbering scheme and (2) have it consistently when existing data goes up to mid month and a new append operation has to follow the invoice number sequence.
Any ideas? I guess Autonumber is no good and I have little array experience.
I have list of candidates shown in report. I need each candidate to have a unique number based on user input. And this number increases by 1 for the rest of the candidates in the report.
Example is below:
If user enters 1132 in the user input box then the numbers shown in report should be as below:
Name Assignment Number
Felicity Thomas 1132 Andrew Sen 1133 Andy Luker 1134
Similarly if number entered is 2345 then the numbers shown in the report will be:
Name Assignment Number Felicity Thomas 2345 Andrew Sen 2346 Andy Luker 2347
My current database creates an invoice per order. Until now that worked wonderful. Now i want to create an invoice per month per customer with multiple orders on the same database. So i will have to create a new table/query on the existing order table.
I have the auto ID number set up set up on my Access database which gives me membership numbers. How do I have a supplementary auto numbering column to give me invoice numbers. You used to be able to do this automatically up until a few years ago. Now I have to enter them manually.
I have a main form and subform. The main form is bound to a table of invoices and the subform to a table of invoice items. I'm picking up the invoice number from the form to save it to the invoice items table, so I need to save the record for the invoice before saving the invoice items from the subform.
Please suggest me how to do it.Any code or sample like this. I don't know how to add new row of product e.t.c. Please help me as I have never done any programming in ms access before (Done most of web development,asp.net,jsp,coldfusion)
I am practising making relational databases as I haven't used them before.
The mock database I am creating is based around a cleaning company.
I am trying to make a form which will display all of the bookings a certain cleaner has in the future. I want it to be able to display a booking along with the services (Windows cleaning, vacuum cleaning etc...) the customer wants.
At the moment, it is displaying each service (Window cleaning, vacuum cleaning etc...) as separate result on the form and it is not combined. They both have the same booking_ID from the booking table. How can I combine them?
It is far easier to understand what I mean by looking at the database (Attached). Take a look at the form I have created and then click the > arrow at the bottom to see what I mean.
Wow, been a while since I've had to ask a question here. But I've been looking for a solution (if it's possible) to restart the open database app I've been working on.
I have a form in which I create and set a database property. In order for it to take affect, the database has to be reopened. Sure, this can be done manually, but I'd like it to be automatic. Just like when you use the compact and repair tool; the database closes and reopens. I've tried the OpenCurrentDatabase method, but of course, I can't close the current one before the code runs.
I have the code working great to generate the different sections. I have a table with 3 fields (seperating the number) and 1 field that is the combined number. The fields are:
FormatID (Text field),YearID (Text field),BaseID (Number field ) (These are populated using a form called "Test")
FormatID = AR-CR- (This is set as the default format/value) YearID = 2007- (I have this obtained automatically using code in the default value of the data tab) =Right(Date(),4) & "-"
BaseID = 00001 (Sequential by +1)
I have a button on the form called "Save" which I have placed this code in the "On-Click" event. Private Sub Save_Click() If IsNull(Me![BaseID]) Then Me![BaseID] = Format(Nz(DMax("[BaseID]", "[tblTest]"), 0) + 1, "00000") End If Me![CustID] = [FormatID] & [DateID] & Format([BaseID], "00000") End Sub
What I can't figure out is how to get the Base ID to restart with 00001 at the beginning of each year? What am I doing wrong?
I have also attached an image showing the increment change if I was to change the year to 2008 how it just incriments the last numbers instead of resetting to 00001.
I have two tables, Articles and Versions, related 1 to many. In my Versions table I want to set up a field that will start at 0 for the first version record related to an article record, and as version records are added in relation to that same article record I want it to increment by 1, no gaps. It ideally would be editable. It will not likely count above 5.
I have atable the is storing ID, attendance_year and meeting code. Iw ould like to query the table and identify the IDs that have 10 consecutive attendance years no matter when it may have occured. So IDs have more than 10 row of data but not necassrily 10 years in a row.
Firstly I have placed this in the general section as I am not quite sure if any vba would need to be created for the following. I would also like to report on the information but the answer may not be done at report level.
Anyway, I have created a very basic database that holds staff attendance and their reason for being absent.
I am trying to get a very simple thing done in Access and I must have spent almost over 2 days of Internet time to do so. My problem is that I need to get the difference in 2 records to show in a query.
e.g. MyTable has 2 fields: 1. MyDate 2. MtrReading
Everyday I enter date in MyDate and a number in MtrReading. And I need to find out the difference between today's MtrReading and Yesterday's Mtr Reading.
I am having a problem, probably due to my inexperience with Access. Here is the seniero:
-I have a form/table set up for operators to enter numbers on a daily basis. -I am setting up queries/reports to display not only the entered data, but also calculated values from the entered values --I have no idea on how to subtract a previous day's value from today's value and report that value. - Since Access gives no "ownership" to any value I do not know how to reference yesterday's value in today's calculation.Any Ideas?
Hello, I am trying to generate some query result on a form. My DB consists of the following fields : tradeID and profit/loss. How do i make a query to find the Maximum consecutive number of wins and losses in the database and display the results on a form?
Would really appreciate it if any of you have tried to sort and display results for finding consecutive number of events in any database!
I have a Student Attendance table and it would be great if I could get some way of automatically determining if the attendance status is Absent - Unexcused for two or more consecutive sessions in order for someone to get in contact with the student.
I have a table of employees, and dates they worked on. These are seasonal employees who want to get in as many days as possible before the season ends, but regulation states they must take a compulsory rest day after x days.So I need to create a query that can return the list of employees, with a count of consecutive workdays up until current date.
If today is 20/09/2013, and Johnny worked on, 19, 18, 17, 15, 14, 13, his count must be 3, because he was absent on 16. Therefore only from 17 through 19 is regarded as consecutive.
If Peter worked 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, his count would be 7, because unlike Johnny, Peter still worked on 16.
I have data for multiple account numbers (for work) and dates, and I need to identify when there is a change in account number in order to add a new field with a count - which counts sequentially starting with 1 and then starts over at 1 when the account number changes.
I want to place a control in a report footer that will return the highest number of consecutive weeks that a profit was earned. The database has fields named WeekNo and Net. The Net field contains positive values (profit) and negative values (losses). The WeekNo field is an integer from 1 to 52 designating the week number.
For example if the figure in the Net field is a positive number I want the control to count the number of consecutive weeks that a profit was earned. I know how to get the value of total weeks that a profit was earned; this is not what I am looking for. The control must return the highest number of CONSECUTIVE weeks that a profit was earned over the year.
I am setting up VBA to run multiple append queries in consecutive order. The append queries are supposed to pull a four digit number off of a form that will allow them to know which data to append. I want the number to be stored as text to correspond with the tables I am working with, but I am having trouble getting the form to work.
Here is how I would like it to work:
I enter my 4 digits in the text box on the form. Say "1305" for May 2013. I want to then run my vba (my queries update using the forms!txtupdatequery!textbox I have put in the criteria of the queries) and all of them run.
I enter my date (as a number but I want it to be text) and the form gives me a #name? error.
I am trying to create a form that creates an automatic identifier with a value one greater than the previous identifier. I was able to create something that updates in batches of two: That is, I end up with identifiers that go 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, etc. How do I get it to create consecutive identifiers (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.)?
