Hi,

I have a field in the Parts Table that stores quantity of items on order. This field is updated by the application when user posts purchase orders and then the qty is reduced when qty is received. But I get, quite of few times, that the value in the field does not match the actual on-order quantity. Probably somewhere the code is missing to make correct updates.

Do you think it would be better to calculate this value "on-the-fly" instead of relying on the program updating it?

TIA
