S14 - Period Sales Quantity (Stock Control Report Generator variable)
Syntax
S14{D1-D16, filter}
Description
Get sales quantity of the current stock line.
 | Built items are not included with this variable. Build quantity is got with S23. |
Parameters
- D1-D16
- A text parameter that can be omitted (it defaults to "D1").
- Restrict to a given date range.
- D1-D16
- Corresponds to the date range screen.
 | 'D1+1D' where 'D1' is the "date range" and '+1D' is the "date modifier". |
| This date range can be modified by using one of the following date modifiers after the date indicator. |
Date Modifiers
With offset
Eg. '+1D', '1Y', '-1Y'
- D
- Days
- M
- Months
- Y
- Years
If you want to add a unit to the date then you should just use the number you want to add and if you want to subtract the units from the date just use a '-' before the number.
 | A combination of units can be used. E.g. '-1Y+1M' would subtract 1 year and then add 1 month. Of course you could just subtract 11 months ('-11M'). |
| 'Month' will be used as default. E.g. '+2' will be interpreted as '+2M' and '-2' as '-2M'. |
Without offset
Eg. '+', 'D', '='
- =
- User Date
- .
- Machine Date
- -
- Previous Day
- +
- Next Day
- M
- First day of the current month.
- H
- Last day of the current month.
- Y
- First day of the current year.
- R
- Last day of the current year.
- W
- First day of the current week (Mon).
- K

A combination of units can be used. E.g. '=--' would subtract 2 days from the current user date. Another way to write that would be '=-2D'.

Note
If you are using the year or month units you should note if the date supplied was the last day in a month that doesn't exist in the new year calculated the last day in the new month will be used. So don't worry if you add one year to a february date that was set to the last day of that february. The 29th of february in a leap year would be converted to the 28th of february in the new calculated year, unless of course you were adding a multiple of four years to the date, in this case the 29th february would be kept.
- filter
- A text parameter that can be omitted.
- If a text string is given then it will act as a filter and only items where the string appears in the stock history description will appear in the report. This parameter can be more than one word (but they must be in the correct order). The case of the text doesn't matter.
Returns
A numeric value whose typical size is 6 digits plus 2 decimal places.
