The closest thing I got from searching this site is this : Inventory Average Cost Calculation in SQL
But unfortunately it was oracle specific, using model clause.
So let's begin.
There are two tables:
-the one that holds inventory transactions, and
-the one that holds the latest inventory valuation
I am trying to make an inventory valuation report using average costing method based on a certain date.
Doing it the normal way, calculating from the beginning until that specific date, will yield variable response time.
Imagine calculating on five years worth of data ( and thousands different inventory items ).
It will take considerable amount of time ( and my company is not silicon-valley grade. meaning, 2 core cpu and 8 GB of RAM only)
so I am calculating it backwardly: from the latest (current) backtrack to that specific date.
(Every month the accounting dept will check on data, so the calculation will only deal with 1 month's worth of data, forever. equal to consistent unchanging performance)
I have merged the table into one on the script below
create table test3 ( rn integer, amt numeric, qty integer, oqty integer);
insert into test3 (rn,amt,qty,oqty) values (0,2260038.16765793,8,0);
insert into test3 (rn,amt,qty,oqty) values (1,1647727.2727,3,0);
insert into test3 (rn,amt,qty,oqty) values (2,2489654.75326715,0,1);
insert into test3 (rn,amt,qty,oqty) values (3,2489654.75326715,0,1);
insert into test3 (rn,amt,qty,oqty) values (4,1875443.6364,1,0);
insert into test3 (rn,amt,qty,oqty) values (5,1647727.2727,3,0);
insert into test3 (rn,amt,qty,oqty) values (6,3012987.01302857,0,1);
insert into test3 (rn,amt,qty,oqty) values (7,3012987.01302857,0,1);
select * from test3; (already sorted desc so rn=1 is the newest transaction)
rn amt qty oqty
0 2260038.168 8 0 --> this is the current average
1 1647727.273 3 0
2 2489654.753 0 1
3 2489654.753 0 1
4 1875443.636 1 0
5 1647727.273 3 0
6 3012987.013 0 1
7 3012987.013 0 1
with recursive
runsum (id,amt,qty,oqty,sqty,avg) as
(select data.id, data.amt, data.qty, data.oqty, data.sqty, data.avg
from (
select rn as id,amt,qty, oqty,
sum(case when rn=0 then qty else
case when oqty=0 then qty*-1
else oqty end end) over (order by rn) as sqty, lag(amt) over (order by rn) as avg
from test3 ) data
),
trans (id,amt,qty,oqty,sqty,prevavg,avg) as
(select id,amt,qty,oqty, sqty,avg,avg
from runsum
union
select runsum.id,trans.amt,trans.qty, trans.oqty, trans.sqty, lag(trans.avg) over (order by 1),
case when runsum.sqty=0 then runsum.amt else
((trans.prevavg*(runsum.sqty+trans.qty))-(runsum.amt*trans.qty)+(trans.prevavg*trans.oqty))/(runsum.sqty+trans.oqty)
end
from runsum join trans using (id))
select *
from trans
where prevavg is null and avg is not null
order by id;
The result is supposed to be like this
rn amt qty oqty sum avg
1 1647727.273 3 0 5 2627424.705
2 2489654.753 0 1 6 2627424.705
3 2489654.753 0 1 7 2627424.705
4 1875443.636 1 0 6 2752754.883
5 1647727.273 3 0 3 3857782.493
6 3012987.013 0 1 4 3857782.493
7 3012987.013 0 1 5 3857782.493
but instead I get this
id amt qty oqty sqty avg
1 1647727.273 3 0 5 2627424.705
2 2489654.753 0 1 6 2627424.705
3 2489654.753 0 1 7 2627424.705
5 1647727.273 3 0 3 3607122.137 --> id=4 is missing thus
screwing the calculation
and id=6 in turn dissappears tpp
7 3012987.013 0 1 5 3607122.137
I am flabbergasted. Where is the mistake?
Thank you for your kind help.
EDITED
Average Costing Method backtracking ( given current avg calculate last transaction avg, and so on until nth transactions )
Avg (n) = ((Avg(n-1) * (Cum Qty(n)+In Qty(n))) - (In Amount(n) * In Qty (n)) + (Avg(n-1) * Out Qty(n))/(Cum Qty(n)+Out Amount(n))
Cumulative qty for backtracking transactions would be minus for in, plus for out. So if current qty is 8, transaction in qty before is 3, then cumulative qty for that transaction is 5.
To calculate the average for one transaction before last, then we use current average to use in that transaction calculation.
