Hi Cuba,
I’m sorry to ask, maybe this question was asked many time, but I really don’t know where to start.
I spent hours reading the docs and the forum before writing, with no results, for an issue I would have solved in 10 minutes with a table component, in any “client” language… It is very frustrating!
The “problem” is simple:
I have a table “Bill”.
I have a table “Order”.
I have a table “Order Detail”.
I want a table like this one in the VIEW “Bills” and the user must have the option to create, update, remove a “Bill”
| Bill.number| Biil.amount | Order.number | Order.amount [TRANSIENT] (qty * price)
The relation are those.
An “Order” has many “Details” => Many “Details” one "Order"
An “Order” has many “Bills” => Many “Bills” one “Order”
To get the Order.amonut I have a SELECT Sum() that works like a charm.
the “Order” entity has already two COMPOSITION fields “OrderLine” and “Bill” that I use in the EDIT screen.
I’m scared to add an “Order” COMPOSITON field in the “Bills” table because it may create a cross reference that may be a problem, and it may not solve the problem since i want the SUM of all “OrderDETAILS.prices * qty”.
I’m convinced that the solution is simple but I didn’t know how AND where to fire the “Select SUM” query and how AND where to put the result in the table.
In case I need to have a separate view, the problem is that I still don’t know how to pass the “Order” parameter from the VIEW to the EDIT screen, and how to update correctly the “Order” lookup field in the edit screen…
Any help is REALLY appreciated
Thank you
Riccardo
