Tracking And Receiving Inventory In Multiple Locations?
Jun 16, 2012
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.
I am developing a database for a friend and have all the relationships, tables, forms, queries and reports working well. I used the orders template to build this and just made a few changes. I have an orders form with an orders details subform that works beautifully. There is also customers table, employee table, products and inventory table. The inventory table has product ID, units in stock and reorder level as the only fields. I need an easy way to have the orders detail form decrease inventory as items are ordered and also some sort of way to enter restock. Can anyone offer advice that a beginner can understand in regard to this?
I wrote an update query that he can run that will subtract the qty ordered from the units on stock for orders with order date >= whatever date he enters, but if he enters a date he's previously updated it will update those records again. I think this is not a good way to go but the only way I could accomplish. I have him using the same order entry form with customer name Restock to add items to inventory by putting an if then else statement in the before mentioned update query. This just adds to inventory if customer name="Restock" else the qty ordered is inventory units in stock -qty ordered.
I'm sure someone can suggest a better way. A friend mentioned dsum function but can't explain how to apply it in this instance. Thanks so much!!!!
I have a database we use to enter new account numbers and several other atribbutes about the account and it is split into a FE/BE with the BE in a shared folder. I have the open database using record-level locking checked but it seems to me that the database is opening up with page-level locking. Multiple users will receive a message that the current record is locked and I am sure that they are all not updating the same record. Does anybody have any idea's of what I can do? If nothing else I am going to have to recreate my form as an unbound form and see how that goes.
I'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...
I 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
What 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.
I want to create a form that allows users to update multiple fields for multiple assets. Below is what I came up with:
Ideally, I'd like the subform to be filled in by having the user select multiple Assets from the S/N combobox field which would then auto-populate the "Type" field. Then they would fill out the appropriate fields they want edited in the top part of the form. They hit save and magic happens. This would also be nice because only assets they want edited would be displayed (easier on the eyes) and no distinguishing would be necessary. To do it this way, I know I would need to use a temp table but I wanna avoid using temp tables.
I know I can do this by adding a Yes/No field in the "Asset" table, setting the "Asset" table as the subform's recordsource, and then putting a checkbox in the subform and allowing them to check the assets that they want to edit (which would also allow me to sort it instantly so that checked Assets are at the top of the datasheet for easy viewing), but I would like to know if there's a way of accomplishing this without the use of checkboxes.
I know I could also use a listbox and that allows them to multi-select items, but I'm not sure if that allows me to group all selected items at the top of the listbox for easy viewing of selected items. Plus it would involve a lot of scrolling (there are over 2k assets).
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 wish to request if it is possible to design an inventory where multiple shops or branches can be accessed from the same place.
or
multiple shops can use the same program with a centralized database, such that every user can only access his or her report from anywhere they login from.
I don't appear to be getting any email notifications of posts in threads to which I have subscribed.I have Instant in my profile/userCP, but have not been receiving emails for some time. I edited my preferences today again -- I set it to daily, saved, then reset to instant, and saved. Thought that the edit may tweak some anomaly???
I'm attempting to create a calculated field in a query called 'Test'. It's purpose is to determine if a certain field has a 'c' for closed and then returns the appropriate 3 months in a concatenated string. This previously worked when it was shorter. Now that I extended it for 2011 fields i'm getting an error that it is too long. I'm pasting the below code into the 'field' line of my query.
I am trying to export from Access to Excel. I am relatively new to this process. I am receiving an error that I am not using a valid path. I have tried to recreate the former path without any luck.
What I had done was to delete some old information that was making the former Excel sheet too large and create a more up to date database. I had to reformat the spreadsheet and export the new information to excel but when I pull it in it will not pull into the shared network drive without giving me the error message.
One table with Student Basic Records with Course name and Total Fee
Tabel name Student_Rec and Fields are below ID, StudentName, Course Name, RollNo, Total Fee
then another table name Fee_Details for receiving dues in installments. ID, RollNo, FeeDue, FeePaid, Comments
Now i want the FeeDue Field should show the Balance feedue of each student
I mean it automatically check total fee due from student_Rec table and also check all previous entries for the same rollnumber in Fee_details Table and show the pending amount as FeeDue.
I'm trying to use Access to send an automatic email reply upon receiving a request from a customer/employee, telling them that their request has been received and this is the tracking number and the due date of service completion. How can I do that? And I want it using Outlook because all the contacts are saved in Outlook and all emails sent and received through Outlook. And the version is Access 2010.
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
At 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?
Previously 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?
