VbzCart/tables/stk history

About

• Purpose: log of all stock movement
• Refers to:

1. REDIRECT Template:l/vc/query,
2. REDIRECT Template:l/vc/table

• Rules:
  • Stock items must always be moved to or from a stock line. (The source/destination can be either another stock line or a line from a package or received restock.)
  • The sign of QtyAdded indicates whether the movement was to or from.
• Fields:
  • CH_OthType: appropriate type code -- see qryStock_containers for codes
  • IDS_OthCont: type code plus separator (period) plus ID unique to that type
• History:
  • 2008-12-26 Changed field names, added new fields:
    • QtyFound → QtyBefore – quantity in this stock line before moving
    • QtyDone → QtyAdded – quantity added to this stock line
    • QtyLeft → QtyAfter – quantity in this stock line after moving
    • + QtyTotBefore – total of item in this bin before move)
    • + QtyTotAfter – total of item in this bin after move)
  • 2008-12-27 More field name changes, to show grouping of local ("stock") and external ("other") locations:
    • ID_Stock → ID_StkLine
    • ID_Bin → ID_StkBin
    • ID_Cont → ID_OthCont
    • ID_Line → ID_OthLine
  • 2008-12-29 Final revisions to match what I ended up with in Access for the migration:
    • +CH_OthType
    • +ID_OthCont
    • Created stk_history_legacy to handle legacy data properly; turned on all NOT NULLs
  • 2009-12-20 Added fields WhoAdmin, WhoSystem, WhoNetwork
• Notes:
  • The IDS_Line* fields are somewhat redundant, but I decided that redundancy was a goal: one of the purposes of history data (including stk_history) is to help reconstruct what happened when something goes wrong. Maintenance of the _stk_containers table is also somewhat redundant, but should make displaying meaningful history reports quicker (i.e. it's basically a sort of cache, as are all the _* tables).
  • Commented-out bits can be included if you have no incomplete legacy data to deal with.
