Help needed with Simple Stock Control
Hi, help needed for holiday project!!
I am trying to create a very simple stock control database for controlling the stock level and amounts of fabric used from rolls.
I need to log the amount of cloth used, update the running total of cloth left on the roll, record the job number, how much was lost due to flaws/errors etc.
I can create tables forms etc but I have no idea how to create a simple running total field that updates when a job has been cut.
I am not a programmer but have created databases before using the help on this site.
My database will consist of just 2 tables
Cloth table with fields such as supplier, batch number delivery date etc and another table for useage where I will have a running total, Job number, amount used, amount lost, date cut, cut by etc
Examples that I have seen all seem over complicated for what I need to do. Any help would be much appreciated.
