Surely the link between Supplier and Sales will be something like SupplierID?

Hi Sir

May i know why you said should link thru supplier ID ?

As for my case my supplier ID only appear in my supplier purchase table. and it does not appear at sales table.

see the enclosed.


Edit :- i think i understand why you suggest link thru supplier ID is the best option , as it will be able to provide a lot of analysis. for example , each items should i can know which supplier we buy from and how much it our purchase price. For my case since my sales order table does not have supplier ID field. so alternative i should link thru date it is correct ?

Hi Paul,

Check whether there is any link between

Sales -> Products -> Supplier

Hope this helps you.
