Formatted Search Help required

Question

Dear All,
I have a specific requirement by which I need to track out the Estimated Cost which is put in the Sales Order Row with a Udf vs the PO Cost been involved for a particular project in terms of Purchase Orders been raised in the system for that particular Sales Order No. Basically we want to know that if the Sales Order Estimated Cost is 100 then the PO should not be allowed to make for more than 100.
In the Sales Order row I have an Udf called Estimated Cost U_ ESTCOST and users fill in every line item the Estimated Cost for that particular Sales Order.
Now I have made the following Udf in Purchase Order Header as under :
Sales Order Estimated Cost  as U_ORDESTCOST
PO Cost U_ POESTCOST
Now in the Sales Order Estimated Cost udf which is there in the PO header I want the sum up of the row which is been put in Sales Order Estimated Cost U_ ESTCOST for that particular BP project. Can formatted search be used wherein if while making the Purchase Order Sales Order Estimated Cost udf U_ORDESTCOST is updated when in the Purchase Order Accounting Tab BP Project Is put. The requirement is that if in the BP Project e.g 10001 is put then the formatted search should search the ORDR table which also has the same BP Project 10001 in the Accounting Tab selected and then from RDR1 its should sum up the Estimated Cost U_ ESTCOST.
Now in PO Cost U_ POESTCOST field I want to have the total sum means Document Total of all the PO been made in the system till date for that Particular BP Project e.g 10001
Kindly advise what best can be done so that we are properly able to control the system
Regards,
Venky

Dear Gordon,
Thanks for bearing with me.
Let me just break the requirements.
Now a New Sales Order is booked which is as under
Sales Order Document Number - 10001
Row Details as under :
Items     Qty   Row Total  Estimated Cost (U_ ESTCOST)
Item 1     1          100               20
Item 2     1          200               30
In Accounting Tab in BP Project its given 2000
Hence the the sum of U_ ESTCOST is 50 for order number 10001 whose BP Project is 2000
Now for the above Sales Order a Manual purchase Order is made in the system
Purchase Order No 90000
Row Detail as under :
Items     Qty   Row Total 
Item 1     1          100             
Header has a udf named U_ORDESTCOST which means Sales Order Estimated Cost
In Accounting Tab in BP Project its given 2000
Now if you notice the common data which is there both in Sales Order and Purchase Order is the BP Project Number
I want that whenever a Purchase Order is made in the U_ORDESTCOST field the Sum of Estimated Cost U_ ESTCOST should get filled automatically based on the BP Project which is been put in the Accounting Tab of Purchase Order.
Means everytime 50 should be updated in U_ORDESTCOST because in the Sales Order where project code is 2000 theEstimated Cost (U_ ESTCOST) = 50.
See if I want I can make a query but I am not able to use the same in the formatted Search. The query is as under :
SELECT sum(T1.[U_ESTCOST]) FROM ORDR T0  INNER JOIN RDR1 T1 ON T0.DocEntry = T1.DocEntry WHERE T0.[Project] = [%0]
The above query if attached is working fine in the Formated Search but due to [%0] its asking me to put the BP project which I want should automatically pick or refresh based on what is put in BP Project in Account Tab in Purchase Order. I think I need the BP Project $ some number....
