Stock Balance Calculation after Stock has been Issued out

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 10

Hello All,

Please I am building an Inventory Management App, 

 

1. I need the Stock Balance to be displayed automatically, pull out details from the Database, instead of entering the Quantity  manually

2. I  need a formula to display the Available Stock Balance after  Stock Out (Amount of Stock Issued)  has been Done

 

Note: On entering a new Data , I want the Stock Balance to auto-populate /display from the last Stock Balance

 

i.e Stock Balance = Stock Balance - Stock Out (Amount of Stock Issued)

 

I need a solution that the Stock balance will be updated after the Stock has been issued Out

 

Thanks for your suggestion.

    hi 

     

    you could follow below steps:

     

    1, Set the selected record as VarRecord, and set the editmode property of stock out to viewmode

    2, add a Slider out of the EditForm to show the stock out qty this time you want issue, min Value 0, max Value = VarRecord,.Stock Balance - VarRecord,.Stock Out

    3, add a text out of the EditForm to show the stock balance after you drag the slider, set the text property = VarRecord.Stock Balance - Slider.Value

    4, use a patch function in Form Oncuess property: Patch(datasource,VarRecord,{Stock Out: VarRecord.Stock Out+Slider.Value})

    Hello,

    Thanks, I tried it but it does not work. I think I am not getting what you are trying to explain.

    kindly assist if you can break it down.

    I am a beginner in  PowerApp Development.

    Note: On entering a new Data, I want the Stock Balance to auto-populate /display from the last Stock Balance.

     

    many Thanks

    just change as below

     

    1,  set the editmode property of stock out to viewmode

    2, add a Slider out of the EditForm to show the stock out qty this time you want issue, min Value 0, max Value = Gallery.Selected.Stock Balance - Gallery.Selected.Stock Out

    3, add a text out of the EditForm to show the stock balance after you drag the slider, set the text property = Gallery.Selected.Stock Balance - Slider.Value

    4, use a patch function in Form Oncuess property: Patch(datasource,Gallery.Selected,{Stock Out: VarRecord.Stock Out+Slider.Value})

    Thanks, a lot.

    There is much improvement now.

    The only problem I have now is at Step 4

    After selecting the Form and at On Sucess Property, I got this error message below:

    Patch(datasource,VarRecord,{Stock Out: VarRecord.Stock Out+Slider.Value})

    I saw you have missed the 2nd parameter in the Patch Function.

    Hi,

    I appreciate your response.

    It is not working, I think I missed Step 1 and also see the error when I include the 2nd parameter as screenshot below,
