Re: Select Maths

Example:

Funcation pqty(stock.code) calculates a value of 0 for a particular product.
This fails the last CASE that makes sure the pqty() value is greater than
our Usage Rate * Review Cycle - in this case is 3. But that is less than our
Minimum Order Qty (First CASE) and not a multiple of our Box Qty (Second
CASE)

Another example could be that pqty() calculates less than the Minimum Order
Qty (fails first CASE) so we raise it to the Minimum Order Qty, but that new
value could fail either or both of the second CASE's.

Minimum Order Qty = stock.purchase_unit
Box Qty = stock.box_qty

I guess a better way to word it is that because pqty() returns a calculated
value each time and I can't take that value and assign it to a variable,
then use that variable. If I was writing VB or similar I'd want something
like:

intPurchaseQty = pqty(stock.code)

CASE WHEN intPurchaseQty < stock.purchase_unit THEN intPurchaseQty =
stock.purchase_unit

WHEN MOD(intPurchaseQty, stock.box_qty) > 0 THEN intPurchaseQty =
stock.box_qty * ROUND(CAST(intPurchaseQty AS DOUBLE PRECISION) /
stock.box_qty)

WHEN intPurchaseQty < (urate(stock.code) * creditors.review_cycle) THEN
intPurchaseQty = urate(stock.code) * creditors.review_cycle

END

COLUMN = intPurchaseQty AS "pqty",

I hope that makes it a lighter shade of mud!!

Can you provide example values and show where it is and is not working? I
am not quite sure what you are trying to do here.
