Generally how are you managing conversions of inventory reports which in 4.30 and earlier relied upon the IM2 data file which has now been split to be: IM_ItemWarehouse and IM_ItemWhseHistoryByPeriod.
The question I have is whether there's an elegant way to get current period and prior period data onto the report.
In prior versions the IM2 held current/prior info so the link was fairly easy.
IM_ItemWhseHistoryByPeriod now holds this total data individually for each period so obtaining prior period totals would appear to require some fancier Crystal report to pull in prior year:
Warning : No mapping available for field ""PriorYrQtySold"" in table ""IM_ItemWarehouse""
Warning : No mapping available for field ""PriorYrQtyReturned"" in table ""IM_ItemWarehouse""
Warning : No mapping available for field ""QtyIssuedPriorYr"" in table ""IM_ItemWarehouse""
Am I overlooking something simple? I supposed the easiest way to compute current/prior is with formulas?
