Hello,

I have a developing question. I want to create three fields in the
Item table:

- Astore: Flowfield that calculates how many items are in the A
store. This is the Calcformula property:
Sum("Item Ledger Entry".Quantity WHERE (Location Code=CONST(Astore),Item
No.=FIELD(No.)))

- Bstore: Flowfield that calculates how many items are in the B
store. This is the Calcformula property:
Sum("Item Ledger Entry".Quantity WHERE (Location Code=CONST(Bstore),Item
No.=FIELD(No.)))

- TotalStore: Flowfield that sums A and B store. How I do it?

I need to applying filters to Totalstore field. For example:
recItems.SETFILTER(TotalStore,'>%1',0);

Using a table Item function and doing the call on AfterGetRecord Trigger
form is not a good solution for me.

This is an example, I need to adding two or more flowfield fields in a
field.

Thanks for your help.

    Have you looked at how Inventory is defined in table 27 Item?

    You can create a flowfilter field like "Store Filter" similar to "Location Filter" and calculate the Sum not based on the two flowfields but by applying the Sum logic on the field.

    Thanks for you answer kapamarou.

    The formula that I have to use it in TotalStore flowfield is more complex. Is like this:

    TotalSotre:=Inventory+"Qty. on Purch. Order"-(AStore+"Qty. on Sales Order"+"Qty. on Sales Deposit"
    +"Qty. on Production orders"+"Minimum stock"+BStore)

    How I do it if all of the fields in this formula are flowfields?

    No way by flowfield. You cannot sum values from different tables.
    Why you don't want to use a function? If not, you have to use normal field and update its value when you need it or while posting etc.

    Thanks ufuk.

    I need a flowfield because there are a lot of points in Dynamics that I have to update this value manually. It's a value that is linked with stock.
    One solution would be update this value on table triggers, but not always a field is added/updated/deleted with TRUE parameter.

    Did you find a solution for this? Or anyone knows how to do it in Microsoft Nav 2018?
