Question

Hi,
I have a problem that I think is difficult to solve. If someone could give me a hand I would be very happy.
Basicly I am trying to make a list that shows transactionsfor similary items. These items are replaceable with eachotherbut they are stored in different warehouses. And we want to seeif there is a specific date when a shortage comes up.
If you look at the "Balance" column it simply ads all transactions.from the column "Units Transaction" What I would like to do is to adthe sum of the stockbalance for all  items at the top of the "Balance"column. The "Ideal" Column show  how I want it to be. The stock balance should only count the stockbalance once for item 61030.
Is this possible to do in Crystal? And the 100 $ dollar question. How should I do it. A formel or running total?
Item no     Warehouse          Units Transaction    Balance     Ideal      Stockbalance     Date61038       04                       5                            5               201       19                     10/15/0661039       04                       5                           10              206       19                     10/15/06

There is two tables SC03 and SC11 that has information I want to use in myCrystal Report.
Fields in SC03:Item No.WarehouseSaldo/Qty in stock
Fields in SC11:Item No.WarehouseTransactions (in and out)Date for transaction
Example SC03: Item No               Warehouse           StockBalance61038                  04                        1961039                  04                        1961030                  01                       14761031                  02                        11                                             SUM 196
Example SC11:Item No              Warehouse           Transactions            Date61038                04                         5                            10/15/0661039                04                         5                            10/15/0661031                02                      -300                           02/10/0761030                01                        -1                            03/20/0761030                01                        -2                            03/21/0761030                01                       200                           03/22/07                                            SUM -93
All Items No are part in the same family and can with extra workbe converted to another item in the family.For material planing I would like to have a Crystal Report showingif there at a certain date is a shortage of the items considering they can all be converted to eachother.
The stockbalance for all items togheter is 196. The sum of alltransactions is -93. At the end of the period 03/22/07 my combinedsaldo of items in all warehouse is 196-93=103.
But if my stockbalance is 196 and I have two planed in transaction 10/15/065 plus 5. After that I have a planed out transaction of -300 the 02/10/07.
That means that 02/10/07 I have minus -94. So even if I convert all my items to the exact item my customer wants I still dont have enough material.So a express purchase order must be issued very soon.
Does this explanation makes it any more easy to understand what I am lookingfor. I am afraid I have a lack of both english and Crystal/database knowledgetrying to explain myself:)
Is is even possible to do a Crystal Report telling me the information I want?
Hope there are some genius out there:)Patric
