SumIndexField Use

Posted on by Jsingh 212

Hi

   In SalesPerson/Purchaser i have created FlowField . Formula is Sum(Vehicle.Amount WHERE (SalesPerson Code=FIELD(Code)))

Why i need to Create Key SalesPerson Code with SumIndexField as Amount in Vehicle table.

Since in Table 13 formula already given is that not sufficient.

Thanks

    Hi,

    I new NAV version now we can use CALCSUMS to calculate the flow fields values.

    Table.setrange(fields)

    Table.setrange(fields)

    Table.calcsums(calculatedfields)

    SumIndexField Technology (SIFT) lets you quickly calculate the sums of numeric data type (Decimal, Integer, BigInteger, and Duration) columns in tables, even in tables with thousands of records. SIFT is used to optimize the performance of FlowFields and query results in a Dynamics NAV application. SIFT involves performing a series of database calls and calculations before arriving at a result. The topics in this section describes how SIFT is implemented in Dynamics NAV.
