Hello,

I am trying to make an inventory management app. i have a section where i can make orders and put item on my order. when i put a new item on it i can select it out of my parts list after it loads in the quantity that is in stock. if i need more than is in stock it will add it automatically to the to be ordered section.

how can i create an action or… that will increase the value in my stock by the used amount in this order ?

so basically you have the following tables.

stock

item

:

Discription quantity :

amount that is in stock

order_items

Item:

discription Quantity :

amount to be send for client.

if Quantity order > quantity stock => order difference and put quantity in stock to

zero

if Quantity order < quantity stock => no need to order anything, decrease stock

with required quantity.

how can i manage this ?

thanks

You have two type of orders. Order from your clients (which you reduce from your stock) and orders that you need to make if your stock is short.

1. Create a workflow that triggers when a new client order is created. Reduce the amount in your stock accordinly (even if the amount in stocks goes bellow zero… e.g -2) 2. Create a workflow that triggers on any stock change with negative value. Create a supplier order with the absolute value. You can create that order row using the webhook api.

thanks for your reaction.

creating a workflow is not difficult but then i amuse that i need to connect this to an action.

it is with the action that i have the problem…

as this order is created in the table orders and takes his amount with a ref out of the stock table…

how do i give the correct row/ table to the action so it knows what it has to adapt …

i assume we need to use set the value of a column…

but i don’t see how to create the formula…

any tips , thanks
