I have a very simple database with one table for which we utilize in making labels for our inbound inventory. I would like to expand this database to allow for inventory tracking and thus need it to be able to handle outbound side of the inventory. I need some help with how to do this. The exisiting table has is data related to product info, serial #, etc. and I need to have a few more fields added that have checkbox for sold, sold date, customer ID, and order #.
The difficulty I am having is figuring out, as orders are taken and the product is scanned, how to set up the databse so that time can be minimized in the data entry of these add'l data fields. We will be scanning mulitple serial#'s per order so how do I set this up so the order and customer ID only need to be entered one time per order. Hope this makes sense. Thanks for any input!
