Here's an interesting article that I found useful on my project:
Set-based Speed Phreakery: The FIFO Stock Inventory SQL Problem:
Stock table which we use to track the track movements of stock in and out of our imaginary stock warehouse. Our warehouse is initially empty, and stock then moves into the warehouse as a result of a stock purchase (tranCode = 'IN'), or due to a subsequent return (tranCode = 'RET'), and stock moves out of the warehouse when it is sold (tranCode = 'OUT'). Each type of stock tem is indentified by an ArticleID. Each movement of stock in or out of the warehouse, due to a purchase, sale or return of a given item, results in a row being added to the Stock table, uniquely identified by the value in the StockID identity column, and describing how many items were added or removed, the price for purchases, the date of the transaction, and so on.
Though I'm using this on my on-going project, Im stuck on how to get the price-to-charge on every transaction 'OUT'. I need to have this value to determine how much i will charge my customers.
First add 5 apples (each $10.00) to the stock, for a total of $50.00
Add 3 apples (each $20.00) to the stock total of 8 apples, for a total price of $110.00
Then take out 6 items (5 each $10.00 and 1 each $20.00) $70 total
After the transaction it will be leaving 2 apples @$20 each with a total of $40
Here's my current table
Item transaction code qty price
apple IN 5 10.00
apple IN 3 20.00
apple OUT 6
Manual computation for the OUT transaction price (FIFO)
QTY price total price
5 10.00 50.00
1 20.00 20.00
TOTAL:6 70.00
Output of the script:
Item CurrentItems CurrentValue
apple 2 40.00
What I need:
Item transaction code qty price CurrentItems CurrentValue
apple IN 5 10.00 5 50.00
apple IN 3 20.00 8 110.00
apple OUT 6 2 40.00
This too will be OK
Item transaction code qty price CurrentItems
apple IN 5 10.00 0
apple IN 3 20.00 0
apple OUT 6 70
The script posted that won the competition was very useful, I hope someone can help me on how to get the price per 'OUT' transaction
