Data source Excel or other ?

Posted on by tuonoman 163

Hello everyone,
For some time I have been working on a mini ERP to manage a stock.
The database of this application is an Excel file.
It seems that this choice is apparently not the most intelligent one.
But then what should I use?

I have to :
- Manage my products
- Manage the details of my products
- Manage my stock entries and exits
- Manage the traceability of my serial numbers
- Etc.....

In your opinion, is a SharePoint list the right solution?
I'm worried about the stock entries and exits, which could generate a lot of data.

Thank you for your advice

    Hi @tuonoman ,

     

    SharePoint could be an option, since you could store up to 30 million items/records in a single list/library.

     

    Here is a blog introducing using SharePoint and Power Apps to manage an inventory:

    https://www.aerieconsulting.com/blog/create-a-microsoft-power-app-to-track-inventory-or-equipment

     

    And also a video which is a tutorial of "Build an Inventory Management App using PowerApps":

    Hope this helps.

     

    Best regards,
