Price Lookup
Oct 13, 2007
I am creating a db that handles orders.
My problem is that the products being sold are so at different prices depending on the customer. (e.g I am selling 100 burgers to Mcdonalds for £50 whereas to Burger King I am selling them for £35).
Therefore I have split my 'Products' table into two. A 'Products' table which contains the product name and category. And a second 'Prices' table which contains the Product name, Customer and the price.
I have setup a relationship between the two tables based on product name
How to I go about looking up the different prices depending on which customer I have placed an order for?
can it be done in a table or do I need to create a query to sort it all out.

I have to design a price list table which is currently done in Excel.
The table looks like this :
[Headers]
Product Group | Layers | (this are quantity bands) 0-100 | 101-500 | 501-1000| etc
Test1 | 2 | £10(normal) £9(special)
The quantity band currently is fixed to 5 bands but would need to be flexible. There are also 2 prices for each of the quantity band (normal/special)
At the moment my table design looks like this:
ID
fkSupplierID
fkProductGroupID
txtLayers (value list)
intMinQty
intMaxQty
curNormalPrice
curSpecialPrice
This works quite well with the query to return price based on product group, layer and order qty. However I am not very sure if this is the best way to design this. I am just thinking about maintenance - for example when the supplier puts in a price change or when the quantity band changes. The current format (quantity band) is based on a major supplier but in the future we would like to adopt this for any supplier.

I have a table called Books, in that table there is 4 columns ChapterName, Auther, ITEM, Price.
Each book has a item number, and each book has a few records with the same data, just the first column is different where its the ChapterName, each book has a price, but only once, meaning in the first record of each book it will be a price in the column price
Now I want a Query where i can get which book dont have a price at all, and which book has more than once a price, how can i do that?

I'm wrestling with the issues; in other threads, it became apparent that because I could not know ahead of time what I will need to know about a given entity, I will use a table to enumerate attributes that is applicable for a given entity.
However, the stumper is that what if an attribute should conform to a set list of values? Since they are dynamic, I would have problem predicting what I will need to be able to lookup, and am even don't know whether I will need a one-many lookup or many-many lookup.
I thought that generic lookup table with a table listing "classes" of lookup would allow me to have one big generic lookup table while using "classes" to act like virtual tables so I can then set the query to appropriate "class" to return just right set of values.
But as I thought about it, I ran into some issues which is pulling me toward the crazy idea that I should have freestanding tables, and use a field in tblAttribute to give me the table's name so I'd know which free-standing table it points to, and have the necessary key to lookup the values within that table.
Even though my gut instincts tell me that I shouldn't be going against the conventions of database design (who the frick goes around creating free-standing lookups?!?), I'm simply not sure how I can use a generic lookup table to hold all information.
For example, suppose I was given a list of values that has its own categories. Since the former design allows only for two level (lookup and lookupclass), where am I to insert that extra level?
Furthermore, I found myself needing a set of virtual keys to reference a certain "class" of lookups for report purposes. That means I need an extra field in my lookup table than I originally anticipates. What if I find myself needing one more field that just won't fit the generic lookup table?
So does anyone have suggestions on how we would create a placeholder for a lookup table that will be made just in time?

I have three large source tables imported into my database. I have created queries to retrieve relevant values from fields in each source table which feeds into my form. Each field on my form that is connected to the relevant query is a lookup field. For example, one field called "Supplier_Name" another called "Supplier_Code" and a third called "Route_Number".
Needless to say each of my lookup fields are very long. I am trying to filter my search based upon the selection from the previous Lookup field. How I can filter a lookup field's value based upon the previous lookup field selection? Each Supplier has a code and assign route(s) and I have already established these relationships.

After being a member on this site for a while now I would like to get some opinions on "cost of application development" I know the forum covers a wide geographic area and the members cover a wide spectrum of degrees of expertise on Access and application development. So the question is this..What would your rates be and how would you determine your charges for developing Access applications for a business?PS... Please include your location if not in your profile.

Hi
I have a problem which hope will have a simple solution, which has been
driving me mad all day
I have a client who has two prices for the same service depending on speed
of turnaround
These prices are entered into the Client table seperately using the CDetails form.
I then wish to use this information using a combo box for selection within
another form called SDetails.However I can only get the combo box within
SDetails to put one of the two prices rather than either of the two choices,
because of the bound column within the combo.
The combo when pulled down looks something like this
Price 1 Price 2 Client Name
I would prefer for
Price 1
Price 2
so that I have the choice of the price I want to choose.
Having spent time and many brain cells, I have ground myself to a stop.
HELP!!!!!! if only for the sake of my sanity

I am in need of some assistance. I've been looking on here for an answer, but can only find solution that would give me a by column lowest price, and I need to compare the prices by row. What I have is a table of vendor prices for part numbers we sell. What I want to do is compare all the prices the vendors for each part number and return the lowest and 2nd lowest fields in a query. Here is an example...
Part # vendor 1 vendor 2 vendor 3 Lowest Vendor Price Low Vendor #
10526 .75 .97 .67 .67 3
10527 .60 .82 .85 .60 1
Thanks for any ideas....

Hi all,
Before I start, please know that I am what you call a newbie to a certain extent even though I created in the last 3 years a very complex and efficient database for my business.
This is going to be hard to explain, but I'll try.
The time came to stop creating the Price List in Excel and copy and paste in Access.(mainly to make it easy for other person to maintain and understand)
I know more or less the tables that will need to be created.
My problem is how to store calculated fields in a table (I know I really shouldn't, but how else can I accomplish this), since all the costs and selling prices are the result of complex formulas.
If this information is not enough to understand my question please let me know.
Thank you for any help.
Emilio

Hi all,
I started a new thread, because it is a new subject even though is related to my Price List thread, I hope is OK.
If someone can please take a look at my attached Excel Price List (particulary the factors sheet) and give me an opinion of how my tables should be created.
I cleaned the Price List was too big to attach and it will be easier to be understood, in its entirety is kind of all over the place, exactly why I need to make simpler in Access for another user to update if I am not around.
I am below including what I think the tables should include, but not sure exactly how they should be, please be reminded that I am un unexperienced newbie.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
tblSuppliers
SuppliersID
SupplierName
SupplierCode
tblMarkup
MarkupID
MarkupName
MarkupAmount
tblTaxes
TaxID ------Do I need This?
TaxName
TaxAmount
tblExtras
ExtrasID
ExtrasName
ExtrasPrice
SupplierID
tblDiscounts
DiscountID
DiscountName
DiscountAmount
SupplierID
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks for any help,
Emilio

I am building a database in Access which I would like to eventually link to my website in order to sell hotel bookings online. I believe I have set all the fields up properly but when it comes time to set the price I'm lost. Each hotel has about 3-5 different prices throughout the year depending on the date. How can I design a table(s) to accommodate this? Any help is appreciated.

I have a combo box which looks up vessel names, it stores the Vessel ID in a field [Vessel ID]. This all works fine, no problem, easy. However as part of the vessel details I also need to know the service the vessel is providing “transhipment” or “direct”. If it is a “transhipment” service I need to show a second Combo box with the on carriage vessels. That’s also easy, I just hide the second combo box and only show it depending on the service status of the vessel.
Now I figure I just need to have a field [Vessel Status] which is updated after the first combo box is updated and then depending on the value show or hide the additional combo box. The problem I’m having is updating the [Vessel Status] field once the first combo box has been update.

Ok, having a very beginer problem here (I Think)
Here are my relevant tables:
I have a table called Items which has itemCode (primary key), itemDescription, and price.
I have a table called bidItems which has bidCode (primary key), itemCode (primarykey), and some other info
I have a table called Bids witch has a bidCode (primary key), and a bidDescription
Here is a form that I use to enter data into these tables and (want) to view prices and totals:
I made a form based on the Bid table with a continuose subform based on the bidItems table, with combo boxes that lets you select Items by itemDescription (then it stores itemCode automatically with the correct bidCode)
What I can't figure out how to do is get each item's price to automatically display on the form (remember price is in Items table, not bidItems). I've tried a number of things that havn't worked out.... any ideas. Then, ideally I would like the form to display the total of all the item prices. (if you have a pointer on that as well it would be much appreciated)
Thanks

For an assignment I am required to do the following:
Quote: Use an expression (in field name of design view by using the build button) to create a new field (in Design View of a Query) called "Discount Price" in table "Stock" which is a 25% discount for all stock items from the new inflated price in query B (use expression builder if needed and create it the field name of a query; it will not appear in the table if you try to open the table).
So sorry to bug again. Any ideas or processes on how to go about this would be welcomed

We have this database:
It has Symbol on the first column, Date (daily on trading days) on the second and Close on the third.
We want a query that shows the last CLOSE of the month for each symbol and sum the volume of the month.
The query table would be like this:
Symbol
Date (last date of the month)
Close (last date of the month)
Volume (sum of whole month)
Here's the sample file:

So I have a table "InventoryTracker", with one field lookup set to list (drop down) and the source is another table "inventory", field "Item". This works good and all the items that I enter in the "inventory" table are available from the "InventoryTracker" table. Both "inventory" and "InventoryTracker" have a field called price.
Heres what I want to have happen.
When I select a item from the drop down list menue in "InventoryTracker" it automatically fills in the "InventoryTracker" price based on the price from the "inventory" table (for the item with the same name, the one I just selected). This has to be fairly straitforward, I can do it in excell, but not acess.
Can anyone help a newby out?:rolleyes:

Hi guys
I am trying to create a simple database to keep track of computer components that I order for custom PCs. The data is fairly basic Quantity, Description, Stock Code, Delivery Status, Cost, Cost+VAT, Date Delivered. The list is currently 500+ rows of data. I simply cut and paste this info directly from my online invoices.
What I want is to be able find the the last price paid for an item (often the same items have different prices week by week) Eventually I would like to be able to create a rough quote using the latest prices (plus mark up) and also view a price history.
I would also like to include a few pictures as URL links to the suppliers website ????
At present the data is in Excel and linked to a single table in Access (but this can be changed). I realise that I have to group the records somehow but cannot get it to work. At present it lists every record either in date order or product order.
The stock code should not change, but product descriptions do. So any links to pics would be based on stock codes
Someone please tell me how to display the full list of products but only the latest price/date
If you think the current format is rubbish then feel free to suggest an alternative. I much prefer Excel but have never really got to grips with Access (used to be a vba programmer with Excel). To link to pictures and hide data that customers might see Access seems the obvious choice. So I try again!!!!!
Thanks
Steve

I am having trouble calculating a field in a table and on a form.
I have the following Tables
CUSTOMER: Customer No, Name, Address, City, State, Zip, Discount, Phone, Fax, Contact Person.
ORDER: Customer No, Order No, Order-Date, Delivery-Date.
ORDER LINE: Order No, Product No, Quantity Ordered,
line-item-cost
PRODUCT: Product No, Description, Price, Product Image.
I need to calculate the line-item cost and need it to update every time the user enters a new Quantity ordered on the ORDER LINE form.
I know its (Quantity Ordered*Price)-(Price*Discount) and I did this is a query and it worked but I need it to update in the form and update in the table not the query. I have tried everything (Macros, Queries, and Formulas) and I just can not get it to work.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks

I seem to be having some trouble with my unit price. Its not round up correctly.
I currently have this :
Extended Price: CCur(Nz([Quantity]+[QuantityToFollow],0)*[UnitPrice]*(1-[Discount]))
Which comes to £45.74, but the actually price should be £45.72. Its some how rounding up. I think. My current unit price is £7.62 however Access seems to think it is £7.6241.
