Use case
I am building a basic inventory management application for my family business.
Current Challenge
I have two linked tables relevant to this use-case as shown below, ‘board_details’ and ‘component_inventory’. ‘board_details’ reflects that each circuit board is made up of different types of components of varying quantities each. ‘component_inventory’ tracks the overall in-stock inventory of each component.
The current challenge is allow a user to acknowledge the build of a board (i.e., ‘Board One’), and subtract the required number of each component installed on Board One from the in-stock inventory of each component.
Desired Outcomes
I have a ‘Build Capacity’ detail screen (below) that shows, based on available component inventory, the manufacturing capacity of a given circuit board type. I’d like to add a button or form to the bottom of this screen that will allow the user to acknowledge the build of a board, and subsequently update all appropriate component inventories.
I’m struggling mightily with how to achieve this outcome (via formulas, automations, etc..). Open to all approaches.
