Hi mibuso community, recently I got stumped by this issue and wanted to know if anyone here has an idea: Some forms have a flowfield that sums up "Item Ledger Entries" excluding all drop shipment to show the inventory of an item. Seems right, since dropshipments should always have a purchase and a sale that sum up to 0.…

I added them to two pages: "N050 Job Card" and "N050 Quoted Job Card"; yes, we have the ToIncrease addon. The 3 fields show up on the Quoted Job Card but not on the plain N050 Job Card.

This has been working for a few months but…

This function works without issues on…
