Making an order app. Having some issues.
This is my first time with zoho so i am not very skilled at this. I am stuck and need help finishing my app. First let me explain what i am trying to make then I will explain where i am stuck.
I am making an order app. Basically all i need is a app that adds products to an form and then make some designed forms after. I am trying to stop myself from creating two separate excel spreadsheets with the same info. I have attached the sheets. So you can see what I want to produce.
- So I have a vendor form so that i can store all the vendor info and i can select the vendor and attach all the info to my order easily. It has the following fields
- Vendor Name
- Vendor Address
- Phone Number
- Fax Number
- Vendor Contact
- Vendor Email
- I also have a items form so that i dont have to re-enter each item every time i do an order. It has the following fields.
- Vendor (lookup field from Vendor form)
- Item description (Name)
- Vendor Item Number
- My Companies' Item Number
- Case Qty
- Case Price
- Unit Price
Now i have an order form and this is where i am stuck. I have a lookup field to select the vendor but how do i pull the other vendor info into the form. In this form i also have a sub form with a lookup field to select multiple items but i had an idea to filter the items by vendor. However i asked support they said you can't filter based on a field in the main form. So my question is maybe my design is wrong. Maybe there is a better way to do what i want. maybe i need more forms? or maybe less? I am sure there is a way to get what i want done. Maybe someone here can help me maybe start over and get the right outcome.
