I have a form which raises a Quotation which grabs information from the main Customer table and I enter prices and quantities and it totals everything up with taxes etc.
I now want to generate an Invoice which contains exactly the same information as the Quotation but store it in an Invoice table, I want to press a control button on the Quotation which would generate the Invoice and assign an auto number, I then need to enter additional information on the Invoice such as serial and registration numbers and store that information in a Serial Number table with the customers name.I also need a seperate costing sheet where costs are entered and then taken from the sales price to give me profitability........would I need another table for this ?
The whole picture is so that apart from generating invoices I can produce reports on Quotations to Invoices ratios, Total Values, profit per unit and also look up specicifc products sold to any customer based on the serial numbers.
I don't need specifics I just need guidance on how I lay it all out, I don't know why I have a mental block on this but I know the value of planning your applications only too well and don't want to waste time creating forms which then don't give me the results.
