The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Help needed on inventory database architecture in Access 2003

Asked by hitcher_lt in Microsoft Access Database, Databases Miscellaneous

Tags: invetnory, access 2003, database

Hi all,
I need to develop Access inventory database for a small family business shared on the network between two computers.
What it needs to do is:
Manage customers and their credit accounts (broken down in periods of 0-30 days, 30-60 days, 90 and over)
Account customers can be assigned to a discount percentage so when generating invoice price is automatically deducted for each product.
Manage suppliers
Create PO's for suppliers.
Manage products
Receive products
Manage sales
Invoice customer (there will be counter sales "cash" customers as well as credit account customers)
Multiple users? (since database will be shared over network although there will be no security issues as it is isolated from the Internet)

Cost price for products is constantly changing, which means today I buy a certain product for one price, next time more than likely will be new price for the same product.

What I am looking for is database architecture, list of tables, possible fields, list of forms and queries. Also general experts advice on what to watch out for and best practise in development.
Also I would be looking for an advice on what reports are "must" have reports (sales history, product movement, customer account balance...?)

At the same time I'm trying to keep it as simple as possible without any unnecessary stuff. Samples I've found on the Internet were either too simple or overcomplicated systems. And can't spend anymore time looking for something that is possibly not there. I'm relying on you experts.
It didn't allow me to give you more than 500pts for this question :((

Thanks!
