Hi Folks,
I would like to ask if this is feasible or if there is any function out there that could help me achieve this.
I am creating a saved search where I would want it to be grouped on a per Department level.
To illustrate, assuming I have the following list (main line=true):
Department | Internal ID | Amount Applying Transaction ID | Applying Transaction Amount
A 1 $100 4 $40
B 2 $200 5 $75
B 3 $300 6 $100
B 3 $300 7 $120
*There are two lines reflected for transaction with internal ID of 3 as there are two records applied to it
I would want to achieve the following when I preview the results:
Department Formula (Currency)
A $60 ** 100 – 40
B $305 ** (200 + 300) – (75+100+120)
* I don't want to add the transaction number/internal id as column
Using the following formula, I was not able to achieve the desired results:
max(Amount) – sum(Applying Transaction Amount)
Results show as follow:
$5 , derived from 300 – (75+100+120)
Putting the MAX function appears to consider all transaction on per Department level. Is there a way I can have the sum of all invoices per Department (avoiding the duplicated amounts brought by adding the join fields)?
Would appreciate all the help!

I'm not aware of a way to accomplish this as a single saved search. But you do have some options:
1. Have two separate columns for amount (max) and applying transaction amount (sum). Then export and do the subtraction in Excel.
2. Have a developer create a Suitelet script that does the subtraction and presents the results the way you're seeking.
3. Use SuiteAnalytics Connect to write a SQL query.
4. Create a custom field on the applying transaction to store the applied-to transaction's amount, so that you won't have to join in the saved search results.

Thanks pcutler for your inputs. I tried to use Keep(), works when amount and applying transaction amount are in separate columns, but when I start to combine them I am not seeing the correct results. Guess I have to abandon this idea for now.
