Is there a calculation function within acumatica?

HI @iqraharrison48 

Can you share more details? What are they trying to calculate? 

The only thing without knowing more is the header total calculates.

hi @Kandy Beatty 

this is just one screen that i could see it being useful for but in theory it could work in any amount field: 

it doesn’t appear to be doable but I figured i would ask

I have not seen that, because the way the system looks at it is that it would be the qty * the unit cost. 

Maybe for projects, you could add an idea for a column like that for a future release. If you have a few customers asking for, then there seems to be a need or want for it. 

@Kandy Beatty i noticed the same thing.  i will check the ideas page to see if there is a similar idea

@iqraharrison48  If I understand correctly, that do you wanted to SUM the Ext.Cost field value for the all the lines and display it in the header section Just like Detail Total field, you are looking for?

@Naveen Boga yes, that is what the client was looking for.  i guess it’s a function within QB and they were curious to see if acumatica had it as well

@iqraharrison48 Currently, the system doesn't have built-in support for this specific feature. However, a minor customization can be implemented to achieve the desired functionality. This customization would involve summing the line fields and populating the result in the header section.

Hi @Naveen Boga the QB feature allows math operations in the quantity, unit price, and ext. price fields.  For example you could type ‘4+8’ in the quantity field.  When the field loses focus it is evaluated and replaced with ‘12’.  
 

Maybe this can be accomplished with customization. 

@Robert Sternberg  Thanks for sharing the details.

Yes, @iqraharrison48  it requires a customization. Let me know if you need any help with these customizations.

@Robert Sternberg @Naveen Boga thank you both for your feedback and help! i dont think the client is interested in creating a customization to accomplish this but its a nice idea! the client came from QB and is used to having the calculation function like robert described!

@Naveen Boga 

Could you elaborate on what this customization would entail? would it include java script?
