Complete guide to Smartfields setup simple Inventory Management (readers edition)

I will introduce you how to set up simple inventory management with the help of SmartFields Power-Up

Imagine that we can manage our stock in Trello

Step 1

Let's create necessary fields on the card.

We will create:

• Quantity (pcs)    //for current quantity of units on stock//
• Received (pcs)   //for update quantity when we receive more units//
• Disposed (pcs)   //for update quantity when we sell some units//
• Price ($)              //to set price of each unit//
• Value ($)             //to calculate cost of units//

To do this please press Smartfields button on the top right corner of your board

Than when Configure Smartfields  window opens start entering Fields by clicking on Add Field 

Step 2

Let's create formulas.

We will create:

• Quantity (pcs) = Quantity (pcs) + Received (pcs) - Disposed (pcs)   // Current value of field  <Quantity (pcs)> will be incresed by an amount entered to field <Received (pcs)> and decreased by an amount          entered to field <Disposed (pcs)>
• Value ($) = Quantity (pcs) * Price ($)                                                 // When we have calculated new value of the field <Quantity (pcs)>  in previous formula we can multiply it by <Price ($)>

To do this please move to the Formulas section and press the corresponding field name to add it to Formula.

Please pay attention that Formulas applied only to new field values
