Help to create a page to summarize inventory items

Hi All,

Need some pointers on this. I make lots of custom pages but to date these have all been on subsets of existing data, for my current need, I cannot find a table that already has what I want. Hopefully I have just not found it but any pointers you can give me on what I need or how to create what I need would be appreciated.

I want to see Items, with Quantity on Hand that is positive, by Location and with Dimensions. So I do not want a record of every item ledger for an item, just a sum by item of the remaining quantity by location ( and ideally by dimension ).

This is pretty simple as a SQL view but i am trying to keep everything a web service rather than use an ODBC connection to a view.

I think this would be a matter of creating some flow fields, but I am not sure best practice to create a new table or add these on to an existing one. So unchartered ground but if I can get a tutorial or an example or something that would be ideal.

Thanks
Clay

    how about an analysis view? I'm not sure you'll get your dimension in there... but the rest of the information is pretty close.

    I am not familiar with Analysis Views.

    Would I be able to create one and access it by a page?

    Any help to research would be appreciated.

    Check out Page 7159. It's the Inventory Analysis by Dimension. I believe this is what you are looking for. The only thing is that it shows all items, not just those with a positive quantity. It's certainly a start.

    Hi Clayfox,
    You wrote "This is pretty simple as a SQL view"
    So, create the Sql view and use in Nav as LinkedObject.
    It works fine (and fast)!!!
    (Search in mibuso about LinkedObject. You can find all you need).
