Need Help With Design of a Query (for Report)

A

Adam Charlton

I am not sure but I think somehow this can be done in a query. Please help
point me in the right direction if you can. Here is my scenario:

I have a Inventory Control database I have been designing. I track trucking
manifests and supplier tickets in one series of tables, and purchase orders
from customers in another series of tables. Both sets use a main table and
a line item table. There is one thing that I need to be able to do
automatically. As we fulfill the purchase order (orders are completed by
factory), I want a query or a report to pull the first matching completed
tickets and automatically assign them to the matching part in the purchase
order. Example:

Trucking Manifest has bundle with ticket # 999555 for part RM-1001 (4000lbs)
received at warehouse. This is recorded in database.

Purchase Order is received with request for 4000lbs of RM-1001. This is
recorded in database.

Factory finishes work on part RM-1001. Ticket #999555 is tagged as finished
and recorded in database.

I want the system to pull up the first likely tickets to fulfill the
Purchase Order. In some cases it will require multiple tickets to fulfill
the request for the weight in the PO. (Customer requests 12000Lbs, so 3
tickets will need to be assigned to the order to fulfill weight
requirement).

So based on this explanation how would I create the query? There is really
nothing linking the two tables (one for PurchaseOrderLineItems, and one for
TicketLineItems), other then part number. This makes it hard to do what I
want it to do. Let me know if you can help me figure this out.

Thanks,
