Hi
Every week and every month a snapshot of the inventory amounts is taken, with a breakdown into the various types of inventory.
The data looks like this (example for monthly snapshots; the weekly snapshots have the same structure):
| Snaphot Type | Period(Snapshot) | InventoryType | Amount |
| Monthly | 201408 | TypeA | 100 |
| Monthly | 201408 | Type B | 200 |
| Monthly | 201408 | Type C | 150 |
| Monthly | 201409 | Type A | 80 |
| Monthly | 201409 | Type B | 140 |
| Monthly | 201409 | Type C | 200 |
| Monthly | 201410 | Type A | 70 |
| Monthly | 201410 | Type B | 180 |
| Monthly | 201410 | Type C | 180 |
| Monthly | 201411 | Type A | 60 |
| Monthly | 201411 | Type B | 220 |
| Monthly | 201411 | Type C | 180 |
- E.g. Period
“210408” = the snapshot taken at the end of August 2014.
In a WebI report we want to show how much each type of inventory contributes to the increase/decrease of the total inventory between
period X and period Y. How can we do this without having to hardcode the 2 periods X and Y?
In our ideal solution the user would be able to freely choose the 2 periods between which he wants to see the deltas.
Another acceptable solution would be that the report dynamically displays the deltas between the latest available period (in this case 201411,
i.e. November 2014) and the one-before-latest period (in this case 201410, i.e. October 2014).
Any suggestion welcome
thx
