An
inquiry screen is used to extract information from one or more table and
present it in the from of a grid. It help us to display the records based on
the filter criteria we entered.

In
Sage X3, we have a multiple inquiry screens available such as Stock by product,
stock by lot,stock by site etc where we can search a stock available by product
wise, lot wise and site wise etc. Stock by product screen help us to check the
stock of a product we want to search by specifying the name of the product in
the field. But if want to search based on some condition we can search the same
by creating a formula. Sage X3 provide us a functionality of  creating a formula where we can create a formula
based on any condition.

Sage
X3 allows the user to add formula to inquiries criteria that can help to filter
a specific record based on the condition specified in the formula. Here we want
to search a  stock of a product only  whose product status is active.

To
create a formula follow the below steps:

Navigate
to : Set
up > General Parameters > Formula

  • Click
    new to create a formula.
  • Select
    the formula type as “Stock selection”.
  • Provide
    the code , description and short description.
  • Enter
    the condition in the formula based on which you need to search a product.

         We have specified [F:ITM]ITMSTA=1 as
we want to search the product whose status is active.

  • Click on the create button. Refer the below figure
Fig: Formula screen

In
this way we have to created a  formula
named as ZSP and now we can use the same formula in inquiry screen.

Follow
the below steps to add the formula in inquiry screen:

Navigate to : Stock > Inquiries > Stock by Product.

 Here we have specified the
product in the From product and To product field and clicked on search so we
can see the stock available for those product. If we wont specify any product
and click on search then all the products will get display whose status is
active as well as in active.

Since we need to search for all those product whose status is active. Click on the criteria button on the right side. Refer the below figure.
