hi
in my system i can see the latest approved date wise but i have to add an inline query on the most recent vendor based on approved date to an already existing query
meaning just the first row data(most recent supplier) should be captured in the query
when i do the following query , i am taking an eg of the item_no 1020101001
select msib.segment1,max(pha.approved_date) from
po_headers_all pha,
po_lines_all pla,
po_vendors pv,
mtl_system_items_b msib
where
pha.po_header_id = pla.po_header_id
and pla.item_id = msib.inventory_item_id
and pv.vendor_id=pha.vendor_id
and msib.segment1='1020101001'
--and pha.approved_date=max(pha.approved_date)
group by
--item_id.
msib.segment1
this is the output i get
segment1           MAX(PHA.APPROVED_DATE)
1020101001    1/9/2011 3:16:48 PMwhen i do the following query
select msib.segment1,max(pha.approved_date) ,pv.vendor_name from
po_headers_all pha,
po_lines_all pla,
po_vendors pv,
mtl_system_items_b msib
where
pha.po_header_id = pla.po_header_id
and pla.item_id = msib.inventory_item_id
and pv.vendor_id=pha.vendor_id
and msib.segment1='1020101001'
--and pha.approved_date=max(pha.approved_date)
group by
--item_id.
msib.segment1
,pv.vendor_name
segment1           MAX(PHA.APPROVED_DATE)  VENDOR_NAME
