Hi All
Please, please help as I’ve got a really urgent project to complete. If I don’t get it finished I’ll be out in the cold. I’m really struggling for time myself so I hope people here can help. Here’s the rub:
I got a list of recipients (names & addresses) each requiring a list of items (we have all the lists currently on bits of paper). The number of addresses and hence the number of lists runs into the millions so I need a big database. Will Access be able to do this?
We have all the stock in our warehouse in stock ready to pick. We use to hand make the stuff but now we just buy it in. So at some point I’m going to need a buying schedule (future development).
Contrary to popular belief we the deliveries to the recipients are over several deliveries (not one). What I need is a database that allows me to produce a schedule of which go on which delivery (essentially I do this by postcode/zip code). I need the schedule so the pickers know how to assemble each load. Also there’s a claus in the contract that say we have to have a delivery schedule for the guy doing the deliveries (the same guy – my boss – does all the deliveries). His missus is funny, she keeps saying to him “Look out for the rain dear”. Thankfully we never have to deal with returns so no issues there.
I there also a way to monitor which picker picks what because in the past some of them have been a bit crap and they should give themselves a kick up the backside.
I also need to produce a run of labels so that I can stick a label on each item saying give the name of who the item is for. Is this possible? It’s now joke having to write them all by hand.
One more thing. Some of the delivery points have been known to leave gifts when the delivery is made. We use to just accept the gifts and say nothing about it but now we need to record this as the tax man says because of the sheer number of gifts then this becomes benefit in kind and has to be declared. Thankfully the company vehicle is except from tax (at least for now).
I can’t offer any money for this. We’re a kind of charity. My deadline is 4½ days and counting. I really hope yule all help with this because it’s really important and if it’s not done I’ll lose my job.
I haven’t got very far with this and I really haven’t got time to do it myself. If someone could send a sample database of how I should start, that would be great.
