I am developing an inventory management app, which wants to show what items are put in each and every location.
-
I created a transaction table which records all the items, in and out qty, with their respective locations.
-
When I try to link the location table with the transaction table, the relevant transactions were retrieved. However, the system fail to add the sum of the same items available in the same location. Therefore, i cannot check the total quantity in the location form.

In this example, product โS10150โ were added to location โ1L1Aโ โfor
โ2 times each of 100pcs. I wish to show that the available products in location โ1L1Aโ are:
- S10150 = 200pcs
- S10161 = 100pcs
- S10184 = 100pcs
May I ask how to do it?
Tables in this app (attributes):
i. Product (ProductID, Product name)
ii. Location (Location)
iii. Transaction (DateTime, ProductID, Location, Quantity_change, User)
I am actually thinking if i should add a virtual column in โTransactionโ table, namely โtotal_qtyโ. Therefore, the โtotal_qtyโ should equal the sum of โQuantity_changeโ if the productID and Location match the row. But I donโt know how to code this.
I would be very grateful if anyone can advise me ><
I would like to suggest amending the Inline View and selecting a Group Aggregate.
In there, you may find SUM ::Qty_change.
Hi,
Inline views are auto-created by Appsheet.
Once in your location row open up the current Inline View:
Then, select the view details by clicking on the view name:
Here you amend the view itself and perhaps use the below to give the desired UI:
Hi Chris @Chris_Jeal
You are really professional!! and thx for your instruction that helps me edit the inline view.
It did calculate the sum. But the problem now is i am interested to know the sum of each item, not the details. When i have over 1000pcs of transactions, it will not be convenient for my staff to do counting merely by referring to the sum of each item. Is there anyway that i can hide the transaction details?
Actually i have created another form โHistoryโ for my staff to refer to the full transactions details. So i just want a brief in the location page for inventory counting purpose.
