Flow Field calculation

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 161

Hi

I am looking to extend the purchase line with a flow field which will multiply the "qty to invoice" by the "Unit cost".

This is what I have so far. 

   field(50202; "lAmountToInvoice"; Decimal)

        {
            FieldClass = FlowField;
            CalcFormula = sum("Purchase Line"."Unit Cost (LCY)" where("Document No." = field("Document No."), "Qty. to Invoice" = filter(> 0)));
        }
This will just sum the unit cost but I want to multiply it by the qty to invoice.
Am I doing this the correct way is is there a better solution?
Thanks Neil.

    Do you want to see the information only on line level or only a sum om head level?

    Because you are using the Qty. to invoice it will be short lived data. So i am not convinced that a flow field is the best approach.

    Maybe a function that calculate this on the fly when requested is better.

    Thanks for your response. The primary reason for this request is that I want  to add a running total to the purchase order screen when the qtytoinvoice is ticked.

    I have it that it sums the unit cost but I want it to multiple by the qty that I want to invoice. The porpose is for the acocunts team to reconcile the invoice they are posting matches correctly.

    Brilliant thanks.
