Hello everyone,
My query is fairly complexed so instead of explaining the formula I will
explain the scenario I am trying to accompolish.
I am trying to monitor our outstanding balances with our current
suppliers against agreed credit limits.
To do this effectively I am downloading data from sage into 1
spreadsheet daily (and refreshing) which contains line by line purchase
order references with amounts etc and then on a master spreadsheet I
have created a grand total columns per supplier calculating what we then
have available to spend (actual v's credit limit).
Here comes the difficult bit.........
I am then have a seperate spreadsheet which requisition users use when
placing orders. In column A they will enter the Purchase Order reference
and amount line by line.
As these orders are classed as "open orders" I also need to add these
balances to my master spreadsheet in a seperate column as "open orders".
However, if we have received an invoice for this open order (which will
appear in the download from sage) I want to avoid duplication of
bringing a value into my open orders column of the master spreadsheet as
it has already been accounted for.
In essence I need invoices, open orders without duplication of adding in
an open order which has already been accounted for in the invoices from
Sage.
The only way I can do this is by using the purchase order number as a
reference but need a vlookup formula (i think ??) to execute this.
Your help would be very much appreciated!!!!
